All together, nearly $70-thousand has been collected in the past week for the Glenna Woodbury Cancer fund. In addition to the cash, anonymous donors are providing lodging and ground transportation in San Diego, as well as a charter flight direct from Florence. Glenna Woodbury has been suffering from colorectal cancer for two years, recently her situation worsened with a tumor wrapping itself around the nerves of her spine. Family friend Cindy Wobbe says the innovative Cyberknife radiation therapy won’t cure the cancer, but it will improve Woodbury’s quality of life and decrease the pain. Her insurance company said the $60-thousand treatment wasn’t covered, prompting an outpouring in the past week. Donations direct to an account in her name at Oregon Pacific Bank reached $13-thousand, but just over $40-thousand was collected at Mon Amis Gourmet Deli and Antiques. Aero-Legends Bi-Plane Rides raised $2-thousand Saturday, then diners and donors at the World Market Buffett at Three Rivers Casino raised $17-500. Wobbe said Woodbury is schedule for her first treatment early next week and fund-raising efforts will continue.
