Emme Ek, a 4th Grader at Forest Hills Elementary, was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor.
Emme has been at Doernbecher Hospital for the last month enduring many surgeries to remove the high-risk tumor.
Eventually, she will have chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Emme's mom, Nicole, has left her job at West Linn Hairport, to care for Emme at the hospital and is uncertain when she will be able to return to work. Emme's big brother, Austin, a sophomore at Lake Oswego High School, also has been at his sister's side.
It's times like these when our community must come together to help a family that needs and is grateful for our support.
This is the second fun raiser for Emme. This is a good chance to help out a family that really needs it. Some of the pottery that my wife and I have donated was not auctioned off at the last fundraiser (see pics at this link), instead It will be auctioned off at a fund raiser taking place tomorrow night. Hope to see you there.
