EVENTS: Benefit supper to help defray costs as family deals with cancer for second time

A few months ago a young woman, Heather Bragg, and her family, Steve Bragg Jr., her husband, and two children Ken and Emma were unfortunately given the news, for the second time in five years, that Heather would be battling cancer.

The first time, four-and-a-half years ago was a well fought and won battle with this disease. Again. she has been diagnosed, except with lung cancer this time.

Community members Elizabeth and Michelle Glidden, and six others, will be hosting a benefit spaghetti upper, raffle and auction for Heather Bragg and her family.

She is brave and her family is also. They have always been kind and giving to others and have wonderful positive outlooks. Now, they are receiving the kindness of the community of Palermo and beyond. The people of Palermo have graciously stepped up for this family with wonderful support and kind spirited giving.
