Moran native Veronica Burton Worthington is spearheading a series of events to raise funds for a family friend recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Michelle Buck of Nevada, Mo., was diagnosed in March with an aggressive form of breast cancer, requiring a constant battery of tests and treatment regimen in the Kansas City area. The results of those tests will determine whether doctors will follow up with surgery, Worthington said.
Buck, 58, works full time, has four children and spends her time on a family farm near Nevada.
Worthington has set up the Michelle Buck Cancer Benefit fund at Community National Bank, and will start up an online auction of donated gift items this week. Go to Worthington’s Facebook page or call her at (417) 321-9671 for information. Donations can be made at any CNB location, including branches in Iola and Humboldt.
