Fight Like A Girl Nicole Cassity!!!

Meet Nicole Cassity. August 18, 2009 Nicole Lindemann Cassity was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. At the very young age of 23, Nicole will be undergoing a double mastectomy. Even with this drastic measure she will always live with the fear of reoccurrence.

Nicole is an amazing young woman. She is the mother of Morgan, a beautiful, bright-eyed one year old. She is the wife to Brock Cassity, a caring and compassionate husband. Sister to Jessica & Michelle. A loving daughter and friend.

Her surgery was on October 1, 2009 and her surgery was successful. She was able to go home to recouperate within a couple of days. Despite having major surgery, she was in high spirits the following Monday night when I went over to her home to #1 see how she was doing and #2 to show her proofs of the photo shoot we took the week before. The goal was to have some great recent shots for her to have and show at the benefit in her honor on October 9th.

On October 9th, the community of Marsing, Idaho dedicated their love, time & money to help Nicole with the financial burden of breast cancer. It is their sincere wish that Nicole has the opportunity to heal physically and emotionally without the additional worries of endless medical expenses. Here is an exerpt from the Fight Like A Girl blog (http://ifightlikeagirl.wordpress.com/) posted in honor of Nicole:

It's raining, it's pouring

This weather is just absolutely crazy. It was so windy last night that when I took my dog outside this morning to go to the bathroom, our backyard had some extra things strewn around. I guess the wind picked things up from the neighbors yards and plopped them in ours. The fall leaves that just turned colors are now all on the ground thanks to the wind - time to go out and rake it all up. Hmmm, wonder if I can find a kid wanting to play in a pile of leaves. LOL The only thing we are missing from our yard is one of our bird feeders, so no biggie for us personally.
It rained, but nothing too hard. My son is patiently waiting for the snow to hit. I am too - can't wait for the first flurries to come trickling down.
