Debbie’s Story
 |
Debbie Green was a 7 year old girl from
Benwood, WV. She was like every other little girl…she loved going
to school, cheerleading, and playing with her friends. Debbie was loved
 by
all who knew her. She enjoyed life to the fullest. In 1970, Debbie was diagnosed
with leukemia. For two long years, she battled the disease with courage
and determination. On February 10, 1972, friends from all over the Ohio
Valley put on a benefit show for her, calling it “Debbie Green Day”,
helping her during her difficult time. That day meant so much to Debbie
and her family, but in less than 2 months, on April 4, 1972, Debbie lost
her courageous battle with leukemia. Now, from tragedy comes triumph, and
from sadness comes hope. Debbie’s memory lives on with this wonderful
event which benefits local children who also suffer from leukemia and need
our love and support, just like Debbie did 38 years ago. |
