Emily Carnes and her mom, Kendra were both diagnosed with the same type of breast cancer this year.
When 18-year-old Emily Carnes was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, her teacher Jen Campanella thought she was one in a million. The teen’s story became even rarer when she found out her mom, Kendra, was also suffering from stage three breast cancer.
“If you really add up the chances,” Campanella said,”the number is astronomical. But Emily is feeling good. Which is weird, because anyone who has known anyone with cancer knows they typically don’t feel good. But she’s going to school everyday and has two jobs. She’s one in a million.”
The organization Team Emily - #BattleIt is hosting their next fundraising event, Pack the Park Pink, for Carnes at a Daytona Cubs game May 28.
