2011 We Care Carly
Carly Davis Needs your help! She is only 17 years old!Carly Davis is a 17 yr. old teenager living here in Salt Lake City who was diagnosed with 4th stage Ewings Sarcoma two yrs. ago. She underwent chemo and radiation for over a year with no hope of even getting through the treatment. She was able to be completely healed from her cancer, because of many prayers and the grace of God. Recently the cancer has returned and the doctors have told Carly that using chemo and radiation the second time will not be effective, they are giving her 6 months to 1 year to live with no treatment. It is Carly’s wish that she travel to Europe while she still feels good. Carly’s parents who are faced with huge medical bills and choosing to leave their jobs to travel with Carly this year are struggling to come up with the funds to make Carly’s wish to travel this year possible. Our project for March will be to raise money for Carly’s travel to Europe this coming year. It is our wish that this coming year is filled with joy, adventure, love and fascination for Carly.
2011 Seeing the Princess
