July 9th, 2010 expecting to have a meeting with someone by the name of "Kim" to talk about starting a young survivors group for young cancer survivors in Indianapolis. Imagine her surprise when we found her in the bar with her husband, Seth and Robin Jackson from an organization known as Ovarcoming. Isabel was shocked to find out that she was going to be treated to a day of beauty and a make-over. Isabel is 31 years of age and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in May 2008. It was very hard for me to hear that with ovarian cancer you very rarely get a clean bill of health. Isabel explained to us that she will always have ovarian cancer.
We created a very special day for her. Isabel received hair color and haircut, manicure, pedicure, facial and make-up. Faith Boutique donated her outfit, Apricot Lane donated shoes and jewelry and Kelly and Ed from Fashion Mall lined up a ton of gifts from other retailers that were delivered to the Mobile Day Spa through out the visit. We ended her day with a dinner get together at Sullivan's Steakhouse. Isabel truly felt like a queen and did not give her meeting a second thought.
