Leukemia Drive
Marianne, 33, a life long area resident and
well-loved Coweta County young mother, was diagnosed with leukemia in January
2003. Marianne was in Houston since
September where she underwent a bone marrow transplant surgery. Marianne and her husband Lee have a 3-year
old daughter, Sydney. Before her
illness, she was a part time reading teacher at White Water Middle School in
Fayetteville, GA.
There
have been several setbacks and triumphs along the way, but the story of
Marianne and her progress has captured the hearts of many. Insurance has
helped tremendously but as a result of her extended care out of town, traveling
expense, living supplies, groceries, and associated medical costs have
exhausted her family financially.
Sadly, Marianne’s fight for her life came to an end in the early morning hours of February 1st 2004, a year and a day after her initial diagnoses. In spite of this, the family has urged us to continue going forward with the last fundraiser as planned. Lee and Sydney, along with the McLelland’s and Fuller’s need our love and support now more than ever. The family still has many bills to pay, as this difficult year has been a strain both emotionally as well as financially. Please make plans to attend the fundraiser event. It will be a positive and uplifting tribute to Marianne’s life!
