| Mom Celebrates Life... |
|
The poem What Cancer Cannot Do states, cancer ‘cannot cripple love… it cannot kill friendship… It cannot shut out memories.’ Bethany Preston has taken these words to heart. Though she admits that she never expected to be fighting cancer or to be under the care of Hospice, Bethany remains focused on hope. Like all people living with an illness, Bethany is more than her cancer diagnosis. Bethany is also a devoted mom of three children, and is committed to making the most of each day with her kids. As a testimony to her devotion, Bethany planned an early birthday party for her children. She wanted to ensure that she could celebrate their life one more time. Bethany’s faithful friend and Hospice volunteer, Joann Lankford, helped Bethany pull together a birthday party that will not be easily forgotten. Bethany and this birthday party reaffirmed what cancer could not do.
Bethany and Hospice Cleveland County would like to thank all the many community members that helped her make this party a reality: Choice USA, Chick-fil-a, Clem Carter, Cleveland County YMCA, Dana Pizzo, Ashley Blanton, Carmike Cinemas, GameTruck Party, and many others.
