FREE ADMISSION--THE PUBLIC IS INVITED

 

taken in parts from a public announcement from Cantor David Lipp of Adath Jeshurun:

 

As a recent famous 'biography' states in its title, Cancer is the Emperor of Maladies. Almost everyone I know has either had the disease or has a family member or close friend who has died from it or, more fortunately, fought it off.

For those on the journey of fighting it off, Meghan Steinberg is an inspiration. Diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 22 she underwent a stem cell transplant which for the past 6 years helped her stave off this scourge.

But Meghan has never been one to wallow in the depts of despair. Despite her recent diagnosis with a cancerous tumor along her spine and a reapplication of both chemotherapy and radiation, when she is well enough, she continues to be there for those climbing their own mountain of chemo-, radio-. and surgical therapies to expunge this poison from their bodies and souls.

She has raised money for her charitable organization to provide therapy games, art supplies, beads of courage, camp scholarships, blanket warmers, exercise equipment, and more for numerous hospitals, cancer centers and organizations...

Every year...we feature a charitable cause and a musical theme....

This year we feature a country sound...guest star is Mickey Clark (winner of the Academy of Western Artists 2009 album of the year), accompanied by Blue Norther....a live taping of Kentucky Homefront with host John Gage with audience participation. Emcee for the evening...Wayne Perkey of WKYI's Perkey's People. (Here from those who have been touched by Meghan's Mountain.)

If you are climbing the mountain or are praying for someone who is, please make every effort to attend. There will be a prayer sung in the midst of the program during which all will  be invited to stand and participate (a very powerful and touching song for those climbing their mountain to life without cancer).

Though the program is free, at its conclusion, you will have the opportunity to make a voluntary contribution (no direct soliciations) to Meghan's Mountain. A delicious dessert reception will follow the program where you can meet Meghan and all those that have participated in this wonderful program.
