Mrs Arizona United States

I attended the inaugural MASH Party put on by Arizona Assistance in Health Care Saturday evening. Everyone dressed up as their favorite MASH character from the TV show or just in some military attire. I was the USO girl! What a fun time for a great cause. AAHC is a non-profit that provides financial grants to cancer pateints across the Valley to help with non-medical expenses like their mortgage, childcare while going through cancer treatment, etc… Cancer treatment is not inexpensive and the bills can easily pile up…that’s where AAHC steps in. They have given thousands of dollars to patients across the valley and with the money raised from this event, they’ll be able to help so many more people who need it. One recipient of the grant was for a single mom who two-year old son who has kidney cancer recently had to have a 2 1/2 pound tumor removed and he’s still going through treatment. The Mom explained how much AAHC helped her and her son and I don’t think there was a dry eye at the party. I spent a lot of time with wonderful people from the Mayor of Goodyear, to the General at Luke Air Force Base and his wife, to all the wonderful people from AAHC and Cancer Treatment Centers of America. A wonderful night!
