ROUNDS FOR SENATE

ad creative

We're in this together - Thank's for your support

Ad copy

Last year was a challenging one for our family. In May, Jean was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Throughout her treatment, we’ve been humbled by the support we’ve received from our family and friends. We’ve been lifted by the thoughts and prayers that were sent our way. They’re clearly working, please keep them coming. Now, we’d like to share a short video message about Jean’s journey and our road ahead. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for us through the years.
