“I have stage 2 breast cancer. I was diagnosed July 21st. I found it pretty quickly. It’s a scary experience to go through, I just lost my mom on October 4th two years ago to lung cancer and I went through that entire process with her and it’s just a whole new experience to go through it yourself.”

The Barn will also donate a portion of the drink and food sales from Saturday to Waxler.
