We have been working on some things behind the scenes for the memorial fund, busy with school, and keeping up with Garrett. While it is bitter sweet, as we should be running around Everett's schedule too, we do our best to keep trucking forward and continue helping those in our community anyway we can.
We got word of a 2008 Graham High School graduate, Todd Woods, who's life turned upside down on April 10, 2023, after an uncontrollable migraine turned out to be a brain tumor. After receiving additional tests at the James Cancer Center in Columbus, he underwent brain surgery on April 24th. The results came back on May 1st and sadly showed that Todd had Astrocytoma Grade 4 Brain Cancer, a fast and aggressive cancer. Todd will be receiving radiation and chemotherapy through the next 6 weeks.
He is not able to work while he is going through this, and it is not known if he will be able to return to work. This is a struggle for him as he is the sole provider for his parents, and they are working through different avenues of assistance to help for the time being.
Anyone who has been through this or has witnessed someone go through this, knows that between costs associated with medical treatment and cost of living, assistance can only go so far. A good friend of Todd's, Alicia Fredrick, has set up a bowling fundraiser (see flyer below) to help offset medical and living expenses he will face as a result of this cancer diagnosis.
To help further offset these costs Todd will face, the Everett Beasley Memorial Fund is selling 500 raffle tickets for a chance to win $500, $300, or $200 cash!! The tickets are $5 and the drawing will be done at the bowling fundraiser!
If you are interested in purchasing a ticket, or 5, let us know!! You can message us here or email us at [email protected] and we will get you in touch with one of the ticket holders!
Thank you for your continued support and love through the last almost 5 years! (It's crazy to say or even think we have been living this for 5 years.)
We look forward to hearing from you.
