Hakuna Matata! It means no worries for the rest of your days.
As many of you know, my daughter-in-law Jessica Schavone, was diagnosed with a high-grade inoperable glioma brain tumor at the end of 2023. Jess has started radiation treatments at Duke and will receive targeted immunotherapy after. Her brain tumor is rare and it is because of the research and recent breakthroughs at Duke that she has treatments that are now known to be successful with her type of cancer. Your sponsorship makes a difference!
The Angels Among Us 5K/Walk of HOPE supports fighters and survivors of brain tumors through research and education at Duke Brain Tumor Center. Whether you plan to be in attendance of the 5K and/or Walk of HOPE or plan to cheer her on from afar, we appreciate you joining us in supporting Jess’ fight for HOPE!
Our team name "Hakuna Matata" is from my grandson’s Cameron's favorite movie, The Lion King, which has been a staple of the household lately. As the song says "No worries for the rest of your days" This is the mantra Jess is showing us all to live by when facing the unknown. Enjoy life to the fullest and don't worry about what we cannot control.
