A Thank You To All 'Audreyness' Supporters

A note from the Parrotts as they continue to help their 8-year-old daughter, Audrey, through her battle with leukemia.

Editor's Note: This letter was sent from the Parrott family in Fox Point.  To all 'Audreyness' supporters, Last year we moved to Fox Point because we knew it had wonderful schools, a home with enough space for our three beautiful children, and we heard it was a great community. This past six weeks we learned first hand what a truly amazing community it is and are so proud to call it our home!  At the beginning of October, we were told our eight-year-old daughter, Audrey, had leukemia and our world turned upside down. Her diagnosis and recent treatments have been physically difficult for her and emotionally difficult for our whole family.

Audrey Parrott was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and although her family has only lived in the school district for a year, hundreds banded together to raise more than $7,000 for her ongoing medical costs Sunday.

Roughly 500 people ran and walked Sunday, many with puppies in hand, to help Audrey Parrott, the 8-year-old Stormonth student who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in early October.  In just 2 ½ weeks, Nicolet High School students Jared Smith and Jessica Luecke organized the 5K Run/Walk to raise money to purchase Audrey a wig and help her family with mounting medical bills.  "I'm amazed that these high schools kids put this together as quickly as they did," Dan Westfahl, Stormonth Elementary principal said.
