Clare Boland Baier always lived life to the fullest each and every day. On October 25, 2013, out of nowhere, Clare had several seizures. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a rare and incurable Stage IV Brain Cancer.  

On November 13, she underwent a major brain surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. That surgery gave her more time, to make more memories and be with her family and friends a little longer.  Clare suggested that on the 13th of every month, we should celebrate life. In memory of Clare and the extra time her surgery gave her to celebrate life, we invite you to celebrate life every day, but to celebrate life a little bit extra on the 13th of each month. We also hope you’ll contribute to this foundation to help others celebrate life.
