Benefit for the Zach Rongers Medical Fund on Thursday, May 29
Friends,
You are invited to a benefit for the Zach Rongers Medical Fund on Thursday, May 29 from 6-9pm at SpeakEasy in Fayetteville. Zach was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2002. After treatments and many battles, Zach is faced with this disease for the third time. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy in preparation for an umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. This is a relatively new procedure that offers a chance for a long-term CURE!
The transplant procedure will be physically grueling and emotionally tough, and will require Zach to live in the Houston metropolitan area with a caregiver for 100 days after the transplant. He will be away from home for four months. During that time, Erin will want to be by his side as much as work, time and money allows. They will be faced with paying a mortgage and utilities in Fayetteville AND renting an apartment in Houston. They will also have prescriptions, medical bills and the cost of travel to and from Houston. When Erin is away from wark caring for Zach, she will be taking an unpaid leave from her job as the Public Affairs Coordinator at the Donald W. Reynolds Boys & Girls Club of Fayetteville. With neither of them bringing in an income when they are in Houston, things will be extremely difficult.
If you would like to help, please mark your calendars for Thursday, May 29 and plan to join us for Hors d'oeuvres and live music by Effron White and Keith Vire for the first portion of the evening, with a live DJ to follow later in the evening, as we raise funds for Zach and Erin Rongers. Tickets are $25 at the door with all proceeds benefitting Zach's medical fund. If you can't attend, and want to help, you can make a donation to the Zach Rongers Medical Fund at any First Federal Bank Branch. For more details on how you can help with the event, please call LaDonna Meredith at 966-0471.

We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
LaDonna Meredith
