Our friend Sarah is a single mother of four who got her college degree in nursing at age 45.  Sarah was diagnosed with an aggressive grade four glioblastoma brain tumor in June of 2008.  She has undergone surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible and she’s currently undergoing intensive chemo treatments.

If you already know Sarah, you know how very special she is.  If you haven’t had the good fortune of meeting her, she is one of those very special people that makes everyone she meets feel like her best friend – a loving and caring personality who truly inspires everyone she encounters.  She is simply one-in-a-million.

 Sarah’s friends are hosting a fundraising auction event at the Grand Event Center in Northfield on Friday November 14, with a silent auction from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM, followed by a live auction from 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM, and live music with the “Zillionaires” starting at 9:00 PM.  You can read more about the event and see some of the items to be auctioned at sarahhenson.wordpress.com  We’d love for you to attend.  Our goal is to raise $18,000 – Sarah’s annual mortgage payment. It is very important to Sarah that she and her family are able to stay in their house while she focuses all her energy on battling her brain tumor.

If you are unable to attend the event but would like to participate, we are making provisions for absentee bidding at Sarah’s website.  In the event that you would like to make a donation, a fund has been set up in her name.
