Holly
I met Holly in 2005. She was 15 years old and I thought she was so pretty. She attended our church with her mom and little brother.

At some point, I’m not sure when, their family stopped attending our church, but I would occasionally see her at the Billabong shop where she worked.

On December 22, 2008, Holly was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Clear Cell Sarcoma. Chemotherapy does not work on this type of cancer, so she has been treated with radiation and surgery.
This past spring, Holly traveled back home to Destin and was voted Prom Queen.
Holly’s 19th birthday was on September 7th. Things are not going well. The cancer has spread to her spine, bone, ribs, and pelvis. First and foremost, please pray for Holly and her family. Then show her some love on her CaringBridge site and consider making a donation to Shred Out Cancer (also, become a fan on facebook).
