Emmy's Story Archive

Proceeds from this festival will go to the Arkansas River Trust, under GARNA’s non-profit umbrella, and to Emmy’s Friends, which is a grassroots fund established to raise money for Emery Welle, who was diagnosed as a 1-year-old with a rare form of childhood cancer.

Greetings once again from the 7th floor of Children's Hospital Colorado. Today we are only here for clinic and day 3/5 of outpatient chemotherapy, not taking up residency like last week thank goodness.

In addition to raising funds to help with Emery’s medical expenses we are excited to announce that we will be putting a portion of them into a new cause. With our young but fierce porcelain warrior at the helm, we are in the process of launching our very own non-profit foundation, to be called Emmy’s Friends.

We leave Sunday for Denver in preparation for early morning scans Monday at Childrens Hospital. This is the big day. These scans (MRI, CT, PET-CT) will paint a good picture of where we're at, a month out from treatment.
