Jenna Lowe is a very close friend of the vibe who, at 17, was diagnosed with a rare, little-known, degenerative, life-threatening lung disease called Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. This beautiful bright child has launched a blog detailing her journey.
Jenna, her sister Kristi, her fogies, Gabs and Stu
and the hounds, Sahara and Prince
jennalowe.org aims to provide an outlet for Jenna, as she deals with what is happening to her. Having been published at the tender age of 8, we are witness to the words of an incredibly intelligent girl who, now 18, is able to translate her feelings and observations with absolute clarity, peppered with her trademark sense of humour.
Courageous and bold, we urge you to pop by, even for a short visit, to jennalowe.org.

Kristi has a song Jenna wrote called ‘I Need More Time,’
currently playlisted on KFM
It is only with the right medical care, a dedicated team of doctors, on-going global research and expensive medication regimes that her family are able to improve Jenna’s quality of life and buy her more time.
The site include ways to contribute towards the family’s challenge. CLICK HERE to get to the website.
While we appreciate you don’t know Jenna and her family as well as we do, we can promise that your karma will get an injection anyway.
