Mary Edmonson was the lucky winner of a polar fleece
blanket from the Columbia Avenue Curves recently. But
the warmth of her heart moved her to donate her prize
to The Cancer Care Center at Battle Creek Health System.
"I was pleased to win, but then thought about
all who are going through cancer treatment and decided
to give my prize to them," said Edmonson. "Mary
Irving made the blanket in honor of those who have
died of cancer, so what better way to pay tribute to
them than to give this warming wrap to the Health System
to comfort other cancer patients."
