In April 2013, Mike and Jennifer Avenarius were each diagnosed with cancer. He had testicular and she had melanoma; both had surgery to remove cancer and no further treatment was needed. On August 25th, 2015, Jennifer was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma and she started chemo that same day. On November 2015 Mike was diagnosed with Stage 2 Seminoma, directly related to his original cancer. Jennifer is hopeful to finish chemo soon, and Mike started chemo this past December. Jennifer has a 19-year-old son and Mike and Jennifer have 3 boys ages 9, 7 and 5. The middle two children have special needs and challenges. With the treatments, both Jennifer and Mike will be off work for a temporary period of time. The Avenarius family is the definition of fighters and we stand with them and support them during these trying times, so they can focus on recovering and taking care of their wonderful children while we raise funds to relieve the financial burden.
