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:

Thank you to everyone that came to Fight Night this Friday, everyone that donated to the cause and everyone who sent prayers to our beautiful Nicole and her family.
The evening was a tremendous success. As the dust settles, we are amazed as the tally continues to rise well above our expectations. The generosity and kindness of the people of Marsing, the friends and family of Nicole, the friends of friends and the perfect strangers have changed a life, change the face of cancer and changed a community.
Continue to pray for Nicole, but remember to pray for all of those facing the fears of cancer. Pray that they will also be surrounded with the love and support they need for a full recovery. 
When you ’Fight like a Girl’ everything is possible."



Every woman diagnosed with breast cancer is someone’s mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend. Stand up and fight with us! Cash donations can be made at any US Bank - Nicole Cassity Breast Cancer Fund.
