From West County Girls Softball: Missy Pendleton needs our help! Your support is appreciated for a softball player from our league. For those of you who have not heard 12 year old Marissa (Missy) Pendleton contracted a flesh eating bacteria in her leg and had to be airlifted to Oakland Children’s hospital last month where she underwent 9 surgeries and had to have her thigh muscle removed and part of the area below her knee, almost losing her life. Through the month long ordeal her family was by her side and unable to work. Missy will have to undergo a couple of years of rehabilitation to learn to walk again.

There are a number of fundraisers set up to help her family with the astronomical medical costs. Visit the WCSA website to print out flyers for 3 Dine & Donates. View and print these flyers:

Mary's Pizza in Santa Rosa on July 23
Beyond The Glory in Petaluma on Aug 7
Chili's in Rohnert Park on Aug 21

There is also a Facebook page set-up to track her progress, "Prayers for Missy Pendleton" which also contains a list of the fundraisers and account information if you would just like to make a donation.
