Utah mother-of-one, 41, reveals heartbreakingly simple bucket list after being diagnosed with cancer for fourth time
Jenny Lowe, a 41-year-old Utah mother battling ovarian cancer for the fourth time since 2019, has made a heartfelt public plea for her five-year-old daughter Hope to meet singer Kacey Musgraves. Although Lowe and her husband are attending a Musgraves concert in Salt Lake City on October 15, Hope cannot attend the show. Instead of accepting this disappointment, Lowe posted a video of Hope singing one of Musgraves's songs to social media, tagged the artist, and asked if the family might have even a brief meeting before or after the performance. The appeal demonstrates how parents facing serious illness often prioritise creating lasting memories with their children, and it has resonated with many people online.
The story reveals poignant details about Hope's connection to Musgraves's music. Lowe sings "Too Good to Be True" to Hope at bedtime—though the young girl has renamed it "Make Some Breakfast" after mishearing the opening lyrics. When Lowe learned her cancer had returned, Hope sang the song to comfort her mother, a moment Lowe recorded and treasures deeply. Lowe adopted Hope through surrogacy in 2022 after learning she could not have biological children; she has described her daughter as instrumental in helping her fight cancer. The public response to Lowe's request has been overwhelmingly supportive, with many people sharing her story in hopes of connecting her family with the artist.
