We at Fearless Fighters Foundation are incredibly sad to learn this news. Two incredible people dedicating their lives to help kids who are fighting cancer.
Nurse Jenny was one of Dylan’s favorite nurses during his battle. When we saw her as his nurse for that shift we all felt a little better knowing she was taking care of all of us.
She will be greatly missed but never forgotten!
They spent their careers helping children fight cancer. Now, two beloved Akron Children's caregivers — pediatric oncology nurse Jenny Rice and pediatric psychologist Dr. Laura Gerak — are being remembered together after both lost their own battles with leukemia. Their families hope honoring their legacy will help inspire others to join the bone marrow registry: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/community/heartstrings/akron-childrens-leukemia-bone-marrow-donation-caregivers-jenny-rice-laura-gerak-lindsay-buckingham/95-6ed4ab7d-7e05-496a-a5cb-bcf4061da74c?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WKYC_Channel_3_-_Cleveland
