WBT pro anglers Bridget Allen (L) of Philadelphia, PA
and Christiana Bradley (R) of Bealeton, VA
Stephanie Phillips (Ron's sister) and Christiana Bradley
A benefit tournament for Ron Phillips, a 13 year old boy recovering from
a liver transplant and also diagnosed with Burkitt's Leukemia (a rare
form of blood cancer) was held August 16th on the Upper Chesapeake Bay
in North East, MD. The event raised more than $38,000 for
Ron and his family. Pro anglers Bridget Allen and Christiana
Bradley participated in the event. To read more about the tournament and
other fund raising projects for Ron,
Madyson
Grace
Darner is
a
wonderful
9 year
old
little
girl.
She
attends
Ocean
Palms
Elementary
School
in Ponte Vedra
Beach,
Fl. To
know
Madyson,
is to be
entertained.
She is
clever
beyond her
schooling
and she
has the
knack of
making
everyone
she
meets
smile
and
laugh.
On March
5, 2008,
her
world
changed.
On that
fateful
Wed, it
was
discovered
that she
had a
brain
tumor.
It was
not
until
March
7th,
that the
tumor
was
confirmed
to
us. March
14th,
found
Madyson
undergoing
surgery
for 1, a
biopsy
and 2, a
shunt to
relieve
the
hydrocephulas.
Madyson
has a
stage 2
astrocytoma
located
across
both
sections
of her
thalmus
and
touching
on the
brain
stem at
the mid
brain.
Due to
the
nature
of the
tumor
both
surgery
and
radiation
are not
treatment
options
for
her.
The only
treatment
option
remaining
for her
is an 18
month
course
of
chemo.
So far
she has
had only
2
courses
of
chemo. Complicating
matters, hydrocelphulas
has
caused
her to
experience
2 shunt
revisions
delaying
her
chemo
treatment.
Madyson
is a
very
loving
girl.
She is
friends
to all
and has
a never
give up
spirit.
I have
watched
her pour
all her
effort
into
either
her
cheerleading
and or
school work
when
things were
not
working
out well
for
her. I
must say
she meet
the
challenges
head on
with
grace
and
poise.
She is
up for
this
challenge
and will
face it
fully.
She is
the
bravest
person I
know......Ron
Darner
(Madyson's
Dad)
ebassfish
first
learned
about
Madyson
from WBT
angler
Liz
Sanders
just
before
the Old
Hickory
event.
We have
been
keeping
up with
her
progress
at
www.carepages.com.
It is
the
Madysons
of the
world
that
remind
us how
lucky
many of
us
are and
how
important
it is to
pursue
our
dreams
and live
each day
to the
fullest.
If you
would
like to
send Madyson

or
fishing
item to
show
your
support,
