Since her diagnosis, Lydia's family, friends, and community have rallied around her as she faces some tough months ahead of chemotherapy.

One fundraiser for Lydia is "Get Fit For Lydia" going on now at First Baptist Church in Owensboro. It's a co-ed boot camp for any fitness level and 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward Lydia's fight against cancer.
