Now Taking Orders!!!
Renee now leads as the vice president of Michigan Faith in the Fight, along with her husband Tim, our treasurer. They have both been selflessly committed to the success of this organization by ensuring ongoing success in leading multiple projects, providing survivor to survivor support, management of all social media pages, organization and management of all back office files to ensure we continue to excel in exceeding compliance expectations. The Magee's are the backbone of the organization and without them we would not be able to continue to provide exceptional support to those diagnosed with cancer.

Ewing's Sarcoma
Gina Pearson is a Board Certified Oncology Certified Nurse Practitioner who has devoted over the past 20+ years to caring for those diagnosed with cancer. She practices full time in a private oncology clinic, while continuing to pursue her passion of lightening the load of this diagnosis on those affected. She also has a young family (4 children) she loves dearly and still manages to find the time to devote to her beautiful children. In 1993, Gina's older sister (Annette) was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma, at the young age of 23 years old. Unfortunately, Annette lost her life in June of 1997 to this disease. During her journey their was a small Non-Profit Organization (My Friends Care) who devoted multiple hours, service, and assisted in raising dollars to help along Annette's cancer journey. Since that time, Gina has always had the dream to begin a similar entity to help make this diagnosis and journey easier for patients and their families.
"In a 15 minute office visit it is almost impossible to prompt every question, address every issue, and develop a supportive treatment plan to ensure those on treatment or post treatment are able to feel their best." She is very passionate about people taking involvement in their own care, controlling and preventing potential side effects and truly feeling their best after receiving a diagnosis of cancer (whether during active treatment or after active treatment). Gina recognizes that patients know themselves better than anyone else and the key to positive outcomes is building a strong relationship and truly listening to her clients. She utilizes a holistic approach (mind, body, spiritual, social) to assist in creating a personalized plan (at any stage in the diagnoses) for each client that result in positive outcomes after a diagnosis of cancer. Through the non-profit she provides many hours of 100% volunteered time to ensure no-one has to battle this disease blind, alone, or feeling less then their best. She also offers private cancer coaching through her functional medicine concierge service program, please feel free to inquire further if this is something your interested in obtaining more information.
Macy Magee was adopted by Renee and Tim during Renee's diagnosis and treatment with breast cancer. She has remained a loyal, protective, and an unconditional support to her mom and dad during those very scary times. She has also been present at most of MFITF's events and continues to be our youngest and most adorable member. Macy Magee is Michigan Faith in the Fight!
