Smiles For Karley

Karley Branch is a sophomoe at Kirkwood High School who has been fighting Ewing's Sarcoma Cancer for almost a year now. Before she was diagnosed, Karley was an avid softball and soccer player. Being as dedicated as she is Karley fought through the challenges put in her way. Soon Karley will be able to call herself a survivor! However, when she was diagnosed, Karley lost the abilty to walk due to the placement of the tumors on her spine. During the past few months Karley has persevered through physical therapy and is now walking with the help of a cane!

Anybody who knows Karley knows what a bright person she is. The ever present smile on her face brought us to name this page Smiles For Karley. Because even when times get tough she always remembers to smile. 

We are hoping to raise money for Karley in order to help her continue her great progress in physical therapy. All donations will go directly to Karley's medical bills. Every dollar helps, and makes all the difference to Karley's fight against cancer.
