Braden's Hope
8 yr old Braden was diagnosed in July 2012, with a rare form of Ewing's Sarcoma.  He will have to undergo over a year of treatments in hopes of shrinking the cancer enough eliminate it or operate.  Braden loves the outdoors and is confined to being inside while taking these treatments.  We hope to raise enough money to purchase a BMX bike, to give him a goal to focus on, as he gets better.  We also hope to raise money to assist in the mounting medical bills that will undoubtedly surpass what their medical insurance covers.

Bring a picnic, chairs, jackets, the whole family, your neighbors, your friends, and your enemies.  Let's join together to help Braden.  There will be a raffle and so much more!

Contact Stacy 801-648-8580 or 801-725-2564 for mor information or to make donations.
