On
Sunday, May 20th Maple Shade held a Cancer Walkathon fundraiser for
a fellow Sterling Knight, Samm Ragone, to help raise money for a hospital in
Ohio that her doctor is moving too. Samm Ragone stated in her speech on the
track that her doctor is her one hero throughout all the treatments she needed
and during the hard times she faced dealing with her illness. Although it is
going to be a tough goodbye, Samm knows that her doctor is going to make other
children feel like she did, not just a patient, but also a friend.
Her
doctor gave her hope and she knows that she is much stronger now than she has
ever been. Samm believe that he will
make a big difference in other kid’s lives. Her friends, teachers and friends’
parents walked a mile around the school and accepted any other extra donations
people gave. It turned out to be successful and Samm’s family plans to hold
another Walkathon next year around the same time, so mark your calendars early
and help donate for a great cause!
