| What
Irina's Friends Want You to Know... |
| We would like to tell
you about our friend Irina - fun, energetic, caring
person, loving mother and wife. A great friend,
Irina would always go an extra mile when her friends
need help. Today, we are looking for ways to help
Irina and her family. Last year Irina ran a marathon
and raised funds for Leukemia. This year she was
diagnosed with the most deadliest cancer herself
- adrenal cancer. Approximately 1 out of 1 million
people worldwide develop adrenal cancer. What causes
adrenal cancer is unknown. But there is no cure. |

My friend and neighbor,
Irina Curtin, 33, has been recently diagnosed with
a very rare and aggressive type of cancer. In spite
of rapid treatment her prognoses is very poor. A
few months ago, Irina, a healthy young woman and
a marathon runner, raised several thousands dollars
to benefit the Leukemia society. A month later she
was diagnosed with cancer …. Recently, Irina
and her husband had to drive for 15 hours to Michigan
to get a second opinion which unfortunately wasn’t
positive. Irina, being a fighter and a pro-active
person, is willing to try new medication not covered
by insurance company. Your donations have been greatly
appreicated during this journey.
