Ethan is a 9-year-old boy who has
abdominal cancer, the same cancer that took the life of his father.
His family has faced many hardships. Some of Ethan's appointments
have been in St. Louis, and he has spent the night in the car
because they could not afford a hotel room.
Ethan underwent chemo and radiation
about three weeks ago and lost his hair. In a gesture of support for
Ethan, several Scouts have shaved their heads.
On Saturday, Boy Scout Troop 111
and Cub Scout Pack 111 will sell popcorn at Kroger and Wal-Mart for
their annual fundraiser. Both units have volunteered to donate any
cash donations received that day to Ethan's family.
Arrangements for donations can also
be made by contacting Jason Schafer, scoutmaster, at 737-3068 or
Jessica Shull, pack fundraising chair, at 217-870-0192. |
