Ride Janie Ride

As you all know, Lakeview is raising money for the Ride Janie Ride Foundation over the next two weeks (until April 23rd). This fundraiser is very personal and special to me because my brother-in-law, Anthony, who has been battling Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma since last year, was chosen as one of this years recipients. Anthony has been through dozens of chemotherapy treatments and spent months in the hospital during this past year. It has definitely been a very emotional journey for our family. In February of this year, Anthony underwent a stem cell transplant at Northwestern and we are patiently awaiting the results. We should know within the next month, if the transplant was successful.


My family and I truly appreciate all of the support that we have received throughout this process. I am truly touched at all of the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement from all of the staff and students here at Lakeview.



If you would like any additional information on Kayla, Anthony, and Michael or the Ride Janie Ride Foundation, please check out their website- www.ridejanieride.org.



I also know many of you were wondering how to address checks to donate- You can make the checks out to the Ride Janie Ride Foundation.



I can't wait to see the final fundraising results!
