Reems Creek hosts cancer benefit for local


By Marilyn Payne Freda Walden became No. 12


on her family’s list to be affected by cancer after receiving a termi- nal prognosis in February. Under- standably, the family feels raising awareness is just as important as raising money. “Families are affected so much.

Tat’s why it’s so important to raise awareness,” said Donny Barnes, a cancer survivor and Walden’s niece. “If my sister Beverly hadn’t been diagnosed at 39, I never would’ve thought to get checked that early. But when they did my mammogram, it turned out I al- ready had it and it was also devel- oped in me in other areas. If cancer is anywhere in a family’s history it is so much more important to be aware of it. Anyone whose family has ever been affected by cancer knows how important it is.” To that end, a benefit is being

Walden said. “I would like to en- courage each and every person who can to support your local cancer research and Relay for Life functions with donations of your time and money.” Tis will be the third benefit


in the past five years for different individuals in the family. Te pre- vious events raised about $4,000 each, and the group is hoping for similar results this weekend. “We’ve had so much support


with the community in the past and we really hope for the same this time,” Barnes said. “Freda has always been very involved in the area and the community, so we’re hoping that we’ll be able to get a lot of reciprocated support.” Walden worked at Reems Creek


Nursery until her illness. She said the horticulture knowledge has served her well in her battle with cancer. “I know a lot of our cancer


drugs are derived from plant life,” Walden said. “Some of these plants are native to our mountains too. Te root of the May apple is one of the ingredients used in Ta- pol as well as the bark of the pa- cific yen.” Walden, 61, struggled to main-


tain her normal lifestyle after her diagnosis and she participated in the planning and organization of her own benefit.


“Every time we’ve met for the


event, it’s been at (Freda’s) house. She’d always come out with a tray full of finger sandwiches or some- thing,” Barnes said. “She has re- ally sewn herself into this event. I think it’s really helped her men- tally to be such a huge part of it.” Tere are many other fami-


lies who deal with similar health cases, and Barnes said Saturday’s benefit will be in support of each of those victims and their families as well.
