Uncommon card · No. 82944

Jessica Ainscough (15 July 1985 – 26 February 2015) was an Australian teen magazine editor who became a writer and wellness entrepreneur after rejecting the prescribed treatment for a rare cancer she was diagnosed with at the age of 22. Ainscough went by the self-coined nickname "The Wellness Warrior" and used her popular blog by the same name to share her personal story of using alternative cancer treatments. While the prescribed scientific treatment had a 10-year survival rate estimated to be 49–72%, with higher survival rates reported for patients of Ainscough's age range, she died of cancer at the age of 29, less than six years after switching to alternative treatments.
