“I felt it was time for me to be a managing partner in a restaurant here,” she says. Photo by Azin Ghaffari / Azin Ghaffari/Postmedia After growing up in Tofino watching her chef father at work, restaurant culture is in Davidson’s blood and she yearned to have a place where she could practice the art of hospitality on her own terms.įrom Left head chef Cody Fummerton owner Kathleen Davidson server Clara Castro-Zunti saucier Jenna Collins and sous chef Kurtis Anderson at Ruby and The Beast. Eventually realizing she and her young family were here to stay permanently, she started thinking about a project where she could personally be on the ground (Scheller remains in Sidney, running the other restaurants). The pair own a couple of spots on Vancouver Island, but Davidson moved to Calgary a decade ago to help her husband pursue his career. Please help us get her the treatment she needs to beat this disease.Ruby and the Beast is owned by Sarah Scheller and Kathleen Davidson, which are likely new names to local restaurant watchers. The world is a much better place with her in it. Jenna is a bright light, a trooper, and beautiful inside and out. It destroys families, it destroys dreams and futures but it can’t take away our resolve or our determination to see Jenna and people just like her get over this awful disease. Jenna never asks “why me”? Cancer doesn’t discriminate, it doesn’t care how old you are, the colour of your skin, or whether you’re a good person or not. So I am asking you, yes you! If your daughter, sister, niece, cousin, grandaughter, best friend, and rock was going through hell what would you do? Please help, donate, share & fundraise literally ANYTHING to help our Jen. I know Jen will hate me for writing all of this and will hate to feel like a charity case but this is our last resort. We now need your help! Any donations you may be able to give will help an awful lot. Luckily Jenna is a warrior and has kept her spirits up, even in lockdown!

She has to pay for all medication she receives outside of the NHS in the hope that some of it will have an impact. There is a treatment in Germany that she can potentially have but it is hugely expensive. Her oncologist called to explain that her cancer has progressed a lot and the treatment hasn’t worked and her only option is now to go for IV Chemo (which means she will become extremely poorly and will loose her hair all over again).īut chemo won’t cure her and we have to look outside of the NHS for treatments. A few days ago Jenna got the news that nobody wants. She had surgery and the cancerous fluid building in her lung was removed. We were devastated to find out that her cancer has progressed further and there was some indication of it in her lung. She is involved with several cancer charities including Look Good Feel Better and has spoken at workshops for Macmillan. Since then Jenna has remained positive, has kept her wicked sense of humor and is an inspiration to so many. (Yes, I can see the hairs on the back of your spine stand up too). This time it was in her liver and spine, she was deemed incurable. Jenna was booked for a routine scan, which showed that it had come back. Now, let's skip all the way to December 2017.

We fast forward to October 2016, where Jenna was given the best news and had been given the all-clear! We now know what lottery winners feel like! These few months were just great, celebrating her life and just being in complete awe of everything she had just been through and how positive she had stayed! However, things did not stay this way for very long. (Look her up on Instagram at Contour & Curls)

She’s since trained as a makeup artist and offers free wig styling and makeup to anyone suffering from this illness. Most cancer patients don’t want to look like cancer patients and Jenna went to great lengths to hide her cancer. She lost her hair, she lost her youth but she kept her sparkle. Months of fertility treatment, chemo, and eventually a mastectomy followed. Now let us rewind back to 2015, Shortly after her 21st birthday, Jenna was diagnosed with breast cancer.

So pop the kettle on, get a cuppa ready, and start reading. The good, the bad, the ugly and just the damn whole devastation of it. As many of you know Jenna's Story and have followed her along throughout her journey, not everybody knows the extent of it.
