Mission: Jill Conley was a 31-year old newlywed when she was diagnosed with stage IIIB breast cancer. She immediately began an aggressive and grueling treatment plan and double mastectomy. Her hallmark vivacity and sharp wit carried her through, energizing and motivating everyone in her path. Even as she was left with scars instead of breasts, she continued to spread joy and positivity to everyone around her. It is that spirt and light which captivated those who saw "The Light that Shines" documentary (attached) capturing her photo shoot in Paris with acclaimed portrait photographer, Sue Bryce. And then, her story went viral. While living with stage IV breast cancer, Jill's wish was to spread her message of confidence and hope and use her spotlight to give back to women like herself and shine grace upon them. Sadly, Jill passed away from the disease in early February, 2016.She was 38.Her mission is to help people financially going through breast cancer so they could focus on recover and not financial needs such as mortgage, rent or utilities
