Glenda passed away last night, her fight against Cancer ended. We will still be holding the benefit to help the family with costs so they can focus on grieving and not on bills. Thank you for your continued support of this wonderful, deserving family.

Helping Glenda and Her Family

Glenda Dillon was diagnosed with an Adenocarcinoma of the cystic duct that moved to her Liver.  In March 2012, she was diagnosed with stage 4 Liver Cancer and immediately began undergoing Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments.  Since then, she has had more than 3 different kinds of Chemotherapy.  She was working as a Special X-Ray Technician at Methodist Hospital in Council Bluffs, IA, but had to quit in August 2012 because of her health.  She has had 2 surgeries and 5 hospital stays since March.  We are trying to support Glenda and her family in their fight against Cancer by raising funds for hospital bills through a Benefit Auction and Cash Donations.  If you wish to donate, please click on the paypal button, or attend the Ice Cream Social and Auction being held
 February 2, 2013 at the Kanesville Arena at Iowa Western Community College.  We will have an all you can eat ice cream sundae bar along with a silent auction from 5:00-6:45 pm followed by a live auction at 7:00 pm.  We want to thank Iowa Western Athletics for letting us use their facility for this event!  And thank all of you in advance for your help!
