Monica Rose

I had seen photos of Monica Rose around town, on bottles that collect money to help pay for her medical bills. But when I met her yesterday, I hadn't seen from those photos how gorgeous she is. Both the writer, Cory, and I were so impressed with how the 17-year-old held herself and how positive she was. She has been inspired by her nurses to work in the medical field and just by meeting her, I can tell this is a girl who will conquer whatever she wants, whether it be cancer or medical school.

A fundraiser for Monica will be held this Saturday from noon to 8pm at the Huron County Fairgrounds in Norwalk. To read more about Monica's story, Cory wrote a great article that also has information on how to donate if you are unable to attend Saturday. Here is the link.
