Colleen's cancer fight started in 2015 when doctors found cancer in her lungs.

After several surgeries, chemo, and radiation she eventually went into remission and began the journey cancer survivors know all too well of regular scans and screenings.

Then came the pandemic.

Like so many others, she didn't make her regular screenings. When she did finally get back on track in 2021, the stunning news came that her cancer was back.

Colleen didn't reach out to Get Marty for help, but one of the people helping keep her alive at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center did.

That's how we learned that Colleen wasn't able to work and was even having trouble paying co-pays for the healthcare she needs.

That's where my man Dale Kleiner and his wife Jeanie come in. They didn't just want to help, they wanted to make sure Colleen was able to take that financial burden off of her plate and focus on her treatment, which is experimental and already showing major improvements.

They did it with a gift of $10,000. Wow!
