178. Mary Herring

Mary Herring (Katie), was originally diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 28 and underwent radiation, chemotherapy, and a double mastectomy. As of February, 2019 her new diagnosis is metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her liver, bones, lung, and possibly more. She has spent the last two and a half years fighting for her life while still being a wife and mom (to a beautiful 8 year old daughter). She has to travel 3 hours to each chemotherapy treatment at MUSC in Charleston, SC and is unable to work because of her diagnosis. The family is not sure how this new treatment is working or how much time she may have but the one thing the doctors have told them is she will never be cured, as they once hoped.

Mary and her daughter both love Harry Potter, in fact, you can find them most days snuggled on the couch watching it together. She has to use a wheelchair for long walks and sometimes can use a walker but would love to see Harry Potter World in Orlando.

Stella’s Wish has arranged a 3-day park pass at Harry Potter World and a stay at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort to spend time with family and relax.
