The community is rallying around a 4-year-old Vernal girl with cancer and her family as treatments to fight for her life begin. 4-year-old Jade Cooper has a bright smile despite being diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Doctors at Primary Children’s Hospital have said her treatments will realistically take 2 full years and that Jade will need to be in Salt Lake City at least once a week for treatments of at least 6 hours long. Jade’s Benefit Ride has been organized for
August 26th
as loved ones are asking the community to help this family in their time of need. The benefit ride begins in Vernal at the Beers Harley Davidson and makes stops in Roosevelt and Duchesne before making a final run via Wolfcreek Pass to Heber City for a catered lunch. Fantastic items are being raffled for $1 dollar per ticket or 7 tickets for $5 dollars. For more information on Jade and the benefit ride, visit the Jade’s Journey with Leukemia Facebook page.
