Christy's kNOTs for Cancer!

Christy Cotta Iversen faced her glioblastoma diagnosis with remarkable courage from November 2021 until her passing on July 21, 2023. Even in the hardest moments of treatment and uncertainty, Christy remained a steady source of strength, grace, and compassion. She refused to let her diagnosis define her and instead chose to focus on what she could still give to others: comfort, encouragement, and hope. Her journey became a powerful reflection of her character: resilient, selfless, and deeply committed to helping people feel less alone.

As Christy walked this difficult road, she became determined to create something meaningful for other individuals and families facing glioblastoma and other brain-related diseases. She understood firsthand the emotional weight, financial stress, and daily disruptions that come with a diagnosis like this, and she wanted to be a light for others in the middle of it. Christy’s vision was simple but powerful: support families not only through resources, but through love, community, and practical relief when it matters most, which is why she founded Christy's Knots 4 Cancer.

Driven by love and admiration, Christy’s husband, Andy, along with their three sons, Case, Trey, and Blake, committed themselves to making her vision real. They vowed to honor her life by carrying her mission forward, building a lasting legacy rooted in service and compassion. Through Christy's Knots 4 Cancer, their family continues her work by offering encouragement, assistance, and meaningful support to those navigating the realities of brain cancer and related diseases.

This organization stands as a tribute to Christy’s unwavering spirit and her belief that even in the face of hardship, kindness and hope can still lead the way. Through every act of giving, every family served, and every life touched, Christy’s dedication continues to inspire others, ensuring her impact lives on far beyond her journey, especially in the realm of cancer fundraising.
