Miracles in the Making: Grant Recipient Duane Leon

Duane started suffering from abdominal pain last May.  He ignored it until he ended up in the emergency room.  He was diagnosed in August 2012 with stage 4 colon cancer.  It has also spread to his liver.  He is unable to work because of the extensive chemotherapy and therefore has gotten behind in his bills.  Meredith's Miracles was able to grant his family with two months payments on their mortgage.  Duane lives in Lithonia, Georgia with his wife and two busy sons!  He is 39 years young.

Miracles in the Making: Grant Recipient Ashley Reed

Ashley Reed is one of our recent grant recipients. Ashley is a beautiful young woman who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 29. You can read more about Ashley's story and receive updates at: Ashley's Caring Bridge

Ashley recently blogged about MMCCF. Here is what she wrote about us:



"Meredith's Miracles is a foundation that provides miracles in the form of financial support to colon and rectal cancer patients under the age of 40.  I became aware of the foundation from my friends at work, Mike and Tony.  They introduced me to the organization and recommended I fill out the application to see if I qualify.  I filled it out a couple of weeks ago and got a call Monday night letting me know that the organization has decided to grant us a miracle.  They are going to pay our July mortgage payment and send me a $200 gas gift card to cover my trips to and from treatments/doc appointments.  I was so overwhelmed with gratitude when I got the voicemail that I burst into tears.  Their generosity is going to enable us to pay off one of my medical bills completely.  Meredith's Miracles is truly a great organization that helps raise awareness of the disease.  They have a golf outing each spring in Cincinnati to help raise funds to grant miracles to people across the nation."


Thank you, Ashley for the kind words, but we are honored and thrilled to help you in your fight against colon cancer!! Please keep Ashley and her family in your prayers and check out her CaringBridge site to support and follow her story.

Annual MMCCF Golf Outing a Success!

The annual Meredith's Miracles Colon Cancer Foundation Golf Outing was a huge success! This year we tried a new format for the event by holding the silent auction and cocktail dinner on Friday night at Red Tree Gallery in Oakley. The night included live music from Velvet Soul, delicious appetizers, tasty beverages, and tons of fundraising for MMCCF! We had 65 supporters show up for the fabulous evening.  On Saturday, 65 golfers arrived at Legendary Run Golf Course in Cincinnati, OH to enjoy a day of golfing. Golfers were able to participate in several games that all supported MMCCF. The weekend raised $12,000 for MMCCF which allows us to keep granting miracles for families in need! A huge thanks to all of those who joined us for the event and if you are interested in attending our golf outing next year, please contact: hello@meredithsmiraclesfoundation.org
