MICHAEL SWAN: SUNDAY BENEFIT FOR LITTLE BAILY >>>

Tuesday April 7 little Baily was diagnosed with Advanced Stage Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. Since that dreadful day, little Baily has undergone intensive chemotherapy â€" twice. The tumor is aggressive.

According to Baily’s mom, the little boy has been a trooper. “He knows that he is sick and cannot do most of the things that he loves; zoos, petting zoos, church group, preschool, train store, library, even riding his bike can be hard for him because of how weak he is,” she states in a press release. “He tells me that ‘it’s okay mom, I know I can’t do that because I’m sick’ â€" and it breaks my heart. This is his ‘normal’ life now and he has accepted it. He says that he will never leave us and that he will get better. He is a good strong 4-year-old boy who is fighting for his life.”

Baily needs a boost of joy, folks. Please join Baily’s family and friends Sunday, Sept. 27, for an afternoon of cupcakes, balloons and a silent auction at the Life Center Church Gymnasium. The event runs from 12:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. The silent auction begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 4.
