All day Wednesday, a steady stream of people came and went at Mon Amis Gourmet Deli and Antiques…. And they all dropped off checks or cash for the Glenna Woodbury Cancer Fund. Cindy Wobbe said on Wednesday alone they collected $16,500, then added another $2500 by midday yesterday.
Woodbury is suffering from colorectal cancer and doctors say her only hope right now is a specialized “cyberknife” treatment that will pinpoint radiation therapy on the tumor surrounding her spine. The only problem is that her insurance company says the procedure is not covered, leaving her and her husband Woody to find the $60-thousand to pay for it.
The good news is… Wobbe says they will make it. With the money collected just in the past few days, along with cash expected from other fund raisers this weekend they’re confident enough to have booked an appointment for Woodbury August 15th in San Diego, California.
By the way, you can still help out this weekend. Aero-Legends Bi Plane Rides will be giving 15-minute rides tomorrow for $100 each with 100-percent going to the fund. Three Rivers Casino will donate all of their sales at the World Market Buffett on Sunday.
