The Bluebird Patch

 Help Rachael Beat Cancer! In December, Rachael Steegar Rensink was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and begun her battle with this selfish disease. She underwent a full mastectomy, and has been visiting with doctors to start her treatment.  She's already had one bill for her first surgery with a price tag of almost $100k.  Rachael is a great mother of two beautiful girls, married to Keith (who's currently serving in the U.S. Army Reserve), and currently works for Delta Airlines.  Let's stand together with Rachael, and alongside her by helping the Rensinks ease the burden of a large financial debt, which only makes the fight more challenging. We stand with the Rensinks, and will do everything we can to help her fight this disease.

As we walked the inside premises, we couldn't help but noticed all the pink "Fight for the Cause" signs. As a person who lost a mother, and both grandparents to cancer, I am always moved when organizations like Medieval Times offer their support to breast cancer awareness.
