Thank you and Congratulations to Cherie Chism for working with a local elementary school to raise money for Chemo ducks. Cherie and the students raised enough money to purchase 50 chemo ducks in memory of Derrick and in honor of her mother Carla Schreck, whom the Foundation has helped. Thank you so much Cherie! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations Jay!

Congratulations Jay Morrissey for completing the 100 mile bike ride in honor of Derrick for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Jay raised over $2900 for leukemia research. Thanks Jay and we are so proud of you! 100 miles is a huge feat!


In other news, please keep another Ephrata resident in your prayers. Casey Coble,a 2000 Ephrata graduate, recently found out that his leukemia relapsed. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments, and he needs prayers for strength and recovery. Derrick and I met Casey when he came to the hospital to talk to Derrick and give him hope and inspiration. Derrick was touched that Casey took the time to come talk to him. Please keep Casey and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
