Jenn's Journey

On World Cancer Day, I remember the hell I endured but I also celebrate the life I get to live. I honor those who are currently on their cancer journey, and I remember with love the family and friends we’ve lost to this disease.
Cancer brought immense heartache, but I am forever grateful for the life I have today—and for the miracle baby who came in the midst of diagnosis and chemotherapy. Brayton is the definition of a miracle. When the odds weren’t in our favor, we survived.
We are alive, and our hope is to bring light to others. God has a purpose, and even when we don’t understand the “why,” we can rest knowing He is in control. 💛

“Eight years ago, Jennifer Arrington was planning her unborn son’s funeral and her own at the same time....”
I am honored to have been chosen to share a piece of my story. It’s always great to see Foundations bringing awareness to young adults with cancer. I truly owe so much to my medical team from DeLand, Daytona, Jacksonville and Gainesville it truly took a village (and a bunch of praying people) to keep Brayton and I alive. Forever I am grateful 💛

If you would have asked me 10 years ago where I would be today… I never would have imagined I would be an esthetician that is oncology trained but here I am and I love what I do. It’s not only giving facials to cancer warriors, but being able to connect to them as well as their caregivers and children on a level most people can’t. Whether you come see me for a facial, makeup appointment or you just need someone to talk too, I am here.
I will never be able to repay all those who helped us while I was sick but I hope I can “pay it forward” and bring hope to others.
