Fundraiser for Woodbury Family Fighting Cancer

In July 2013, Woodbury resident Paul Edwards was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Paul endured chemotherapy for the next few months while doctors continued to monitor his bone marrow and white blood cell counts. Paul’s cancer journey has faced many challenges that no one saw coming, including an inner ear infection that has hindered his battle. As a family, the Edwards have continued to take this one day at a time, supporting one another in every way possible.

Now his neighbors and friends are showing their support.  A family fundraiser has been planned for Sunday, January 12. "Paul and Michele, and their boys are an integral part of our community," says event organizers. "We have come together to help support the Edwards family through meals, support, prayers and now fundraising!"
