Our sweet Lilly was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2004, when she was only 27 years old. When most people her age were embarking on careers, getting married, and starting families, Lilly was meeting with surgeons in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, trying to decide which lung surgery would provide her with the greatest chance of survival. Over the next 15 years, she underwent countless surgeries, chemotherapy infusions, and radiation courses in her fight against cancer. Sadly, our hearts were broken on December 14, 2019, when Lilly passed away far too early at the age of 42.
Despite her continuous medical challenges, Lilly never let mesothelioma define her. She married her true love Johnny, had a beautiful baby boy who is now an intelligent and kind little man, and continued to live life with an open mind and open heart. Even as her disease progressed, she always maintained a sense of hope. Unfortunately, a cure for mesothelioma did not come in her lifetime. However, we will carry on Lilly's hope and invite you to join us.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us in honoring Lilly's memory by supporting the Meso Foundation:
