We welcome you

Welcome to Laurie’s Love

The inspiration for Laurie’s Love app is the result of a beautiful friendship and deep connection with my dear friend and business colleague Laurie Brewer. She and I embarked on a challenging journey together while battling different types and forms of cancer.

Laurie’s Love is a forum to speak privately and candidly with someone who understands the specific path that you are on, the precise treatments you are enduring and/or have endured, and the aftereffects of those treatments.

This app is designed to be a common place to lift each other up during the difficult days and to provide inspiration on the momentous days that should be celebrated. It is a community to share personal stories to help empower one another as you work towards a victory over your cancer while keeping the faith that a cure is on the horizon.

Why the map?

Laurie’s Love is committed to providing each member affected by cancer with a personalized support team who understands exactly what they are experiencing during their journey. We accomplish this with our comprehensive mapping system. Our application connects each member with others in the United States who share similar demographics, including specific types of cancer, age range, and gender.

Upon registration, users are placed on the map via their zip code in the U.S., which allows members in a general geographical location to connect with each other and share the details of their unique cancer experience. This allows members to connect not only with someone in their town, city or county, but also anyone across the United States. The mapping feature offers members a deepened sense of connection due to the ability to see where others are located.

The map function is one of the most vital components of the application as it connects warriors who are enduring the same diagnosis or members caring for or related to those with that diagnosis, inspires them to share all aspects of their stories with each other, and empowers them with the knowledge that they are not alone in their journey.

The Laurie’s Love family is here for you.

    “Before Laurie’s Love, my fight with ovarian cancer felt isolating. Sure, I had my family, but they couldn’t understand the specific struggles I faced during treatment. Then I found the app. Connecting with other women going through a similar journey has been life-changing. We share tips, fears, and victories. It’s like having a whole team cheering you on, reminding me I’m not alone in this battle. Laurie’s Love gave me the community I desperately needed, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.”

    “Through the app, I met David, another lymphoma fighter. We live on opposite coasts, but we chat daily. He gets my dark humor during chemo sessions, celebrates my good days, and picks me up when I’m down. Laurie’s Love didn’t just connect me with a friend; it connected me with a brother in arms. We face this fight together, even if it’s virtually.”

    “Laurie’s Love wasn’t just about finding support during treatment. It ignited a passion for advocacy within me. Through the app, I connected with others fighting for better research funding and access to advanced treatments for colon cancer. Together, we shared petitions, contacted representatives, and even organized virtual fundraising events. The app fostered a sense of collective power, allowing us to transform our shared experience into a force for positive change. Laurie’s Love proved that connection can empower us to fight not just for ourselves, but for all those battling cancer.”
