Thanks to everyone at Oregon City United Methodist Church who helped me raise $1100 for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS.) It was fun serving lunch to my church family and honoring Ashley and other cancer patients in the process. Thank you for making the fundraiser so successful!

Thank you Nancy for helping to spread the Good News to all.
This dark purple tulip reminded me of Ashley when I saw it. It stood out from the sea of yellow, red and orange tulips around it just as Ashley did with her sophisticated style and personality.
Here's a scan of an assignment Ashley completed just days before she passed away. The question, "Life as a Genius," was part of a larger assignment after reading "Flowers for Algernon" in her 8th grade literature class. From an 8th Grade Assignment. You'd have to know Ashley to understand how her response to such a question could be bold but humble at the same time. She desired to be great and to do great things. 'World Domination,' was one way she expressed that desire. Another way was by having a heart for helping others and as mentioned before, by doing so.
Ashley's desire to cure cancer is motivating me and others to work even harder at raising funds for LLS. Ashley's aunt and cousin are raising funds and awareness by participating in the the Eugene half marathon with me. Also, a shout out to the church I attend, Oregon City United Methodist Chuch which is letting me host a lunch there onSunday April 18th to raise funds for LLS. The Oregon City Haggen Food & Pharmacy has agreed to offset some of my costs by donating groceries to the event. Thanks to everyone who is getting involved whether it be by donation, by support, or by walking! |
