That's us. We are Casey's girlfriends and we have been helping her since her brain tumor diagnosis at the beginning of our Junior year. We decided to raise money to help find a cure for kids with cancer. Until Casey was diagnosed, we didn't realize how many kids are fighting the same battle that she is.
We have been amazed at the people who have jumped in to help us with this fundraiser. Our own high school, Downers Grove South, set the bar very high with their constant support for Casey. Several high schools and elementary schools have followed their example and participated too. The Northside College Prep High School never met Casey until they presented her with a $7,200 donation from a volleyball marathon they had on her behalf! We have seen the kindness and generosity of strangers. We know of many church congregations that pray for Casey. We have seen all the e-mails she receives with messages of support and encouragement to keep fighting.
We expected that this would change Casey's life forever, however, it has changed our lives too.
