Take "one hour" out of your day on Saturday, October 22, from 10:00 am-5:00 pm, and shop for the children battling cancer. Check out the 5K run and tour the Frontier Culture Museum. See complete details below.
Unique vendors will be donating a portion of their proceeds to The MaDee Project, a non profit foundation that provides support to pediatric cancer patients and their families in the Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County areas. The project will also nationally fund research in hopes of finding the cause and help to prevent pediatric cancers from reaching any other children.
Local home school families will also be involved including Deb Kirtland selling her Maid With Care purses. Entertainment will be provided in the free Children's Tent from 12:00 Noon-4:00 pm with Deb's daughter Brigitte providing face painting and the magic of home school dad Brian Bence.
MaDee Boxler's short but full life lasted from October 24, 1987 until February 16, 2010. She and my daughter were the same age almost down to the day. MaDee (pronounced "Maddie") was only 22 when she lost her battle with cancer but her legacy lives on in the central Shenandoah Valley. The MaDee Project website says it best:
MaDee’s determination, love for her family and friends, as well as her strong spirit while battling this disease, became the inspiration of this project. If MaDee were physically here with us today, we feel confident, she would still be holding children under her wing, teaching, guiding and comforting them, especially those diagnosed with cancer. This project is our way of showing the community, MaDee’s legacy continues. She lives on.......providing the children and their family with hope, help and healing
