No One Fights Alone was a huge success this year! Thanks to Bobbi Eddy and the other amazing people that helped plan the event, it turned out to be very meaningful and it helped many members of our community who are suffering from cancer.
Eddy began the fundraiser as a way to pay it forward. When her brother was diagnosed with cancer in November of 2020, his family was shown so much love and support from the community. Since then she has had many opportunities to give back. “We wanted the money to go directly to those fighting in Morgan county.” commented Eddy. “All of the money stays local. “The hope and goal of No One Fights Alone is for anyone fighting cancer, their caregivers, and their loved ones to know that they are not alone. They have a community behind them! A special thanks to the No One Fights Alone board, Nanette Brown, Aimee Ferrin and Wendy Wilkinson!
No One Fights Alone started with High Fitness on Thursday, July 6. According to Eddy, they had about 50 women there to support this awesome cause. The instructors for High Fitness were Monica Hansen, Heather Peterson and Brittany Lott. “There was so much positive energy!” Eddy emphasized. “It was the perfect way to start.”
In addition, they had a great turn out at CrossFit Unknown. CrossFit took place on Saturday, July 8 at 6 a.m. Chans and Tausha Porter hosted and supported the workout.
Sam Dingman and Garrett Snelgrove had the unique opportunity to start the 5k and 10k. Dingman and Snelgrove were two recipients of the money they raised last year. This season they had about 150 participants with about 25 volunteers.
The silent auction was one, if not the most successful of the events for No One Fights Alone. Eddy would like to give a special thank you to Brittany Kunh and everyone that donated items and/or bid! “People walked away with some amazing items and donated to a great cause!" said Eddy. "We tried something new this year and did 3 items on our instagram page:
@no_one_fights_alone_5k. It turned out great and we are excited to do more online next year!"
No One Fights Alone has grown from their previous two years and are proud to announce that they are now an official charity organization. Morgan can look forward to more opportunities and growth in the years to come!
