Community Rallies Behind Ashleigh Evans in Battle Against Rare Cancerous Tumor
Sarasota, Florida, April 12, 2024 – Ashleigh Evans, a beloved member of the Sarasota community, finds herself in a courageous battle against a rare and aggressive tumor. A dedicated mother, talented actress, culinary artist and philanthropist, Ashleigh's journey has captured the hearts of those who know her.
Last year, Ashleigh was diagnosed with a rare genetically mutated variant of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), leading to the discovery and removal of a sizable tumor. However, in a devastating turn of events, she now faces a larger tumor pressing against her spinal cord, threatening her mobility and life.
Despite undergoing major surgery and facing mounting medical expenses, Ashleigh encountered another setback when her health insurance coverage was abruptly terminated, leaving her and her young daughter vulnerable.
As Ashleigh prepares for another round of surgery and chemotherapy, she stands resilient, supported by the community's unwavering solidarity. Join #TeamAshleigh in the fight against this life-threatening condition and let's conquer this cancerous tumor together.
"We stand by Ashleigh and her daughter during this challenging time," said a community spokesperson for the Women’s Resource Center in Sarasota. "We all need to come together to support one of our own in this battle for health and wellbeing."
