Kelly is from the St Louis area. Kelly at age 31 was a happily married school teacher when she found out she had cervical cancer. Kelly was told she may not live to see her 33rd birthday. She was diagnosed in December 2011.
Since her diagnoses Kelly used her instinct and fought hard. Kelly had multiple surgeries leaving her with a complete hysterectomy, without several lymph nodes, bladder and urethra. She went through multiple rounds of chemo and radiation. In May 2013 her scans had shown her to be cancer FREE!! She lived to see her 33rd birthday!
Kelly was on "The Jeff Probst Show" first episode and she announced her diagnoses on the show. The show has also checked in on her and her battle with cervical cancer.
Kelly was at Our Panties Across the Bridge on July 13, 2013, the 3rd Annual Event. Kelly shared her inspirational story and why it is important to know the signs and symptoms for cervical cancer. At our lighting ceremony Kelly flipped the switch to make the Purple People Bridge teal for the first time in Cincinnati history!
Thank you Kelly for making the trip to Cincinnati to help us raise awareness for gynecological cancers. We are rooting for you all the way as you continue your fight.
