Emma The Brave Receives $10K in Physical Therapy From The Purple Society
“Emma Lee (AKA Emma the Brave) has had spine cancer for most of her life. She is 6 years old, has had multiple surgeries, and is undergoing weekly chemotherapy. To help raise money for Emma’s physical therapy and treaments, Hillary Ryan organized a yoga event on January 21, 2012. Over $16000 was raised in a community wide effort.”
We got a chance to meet Emma and her family yesterday at the fundraising event. She is so beautiful and bright. I know Nitalia was right there with us! We presented Emma and her family with a $10,000 Physical Therapy grant. This will assure that Emma gets all the therapy she needs! Emma and her family were so happy to receive the grant; Now the funds raised at the fundraiser can go into the many bills that a family incurs while going through cancer treatments. We are blessed to be part of her journey. We need to give a huge THANK YOU to our partners on this grant, RISE EI and Therapy For Developmental Disabilities. Without them this would not have been possible.
Please take a second and vist Emma Lee’s pages and give to her family!
