Show Citizen, Press, Review Wed., May 6, 1992 Page 13 Fundraisers to aid former Lehi resident m By RACHEL C. MURDOCH Friends and family who watched Susan Peterson Mitchell grow up in Lehi, helped her cross the street as a child, watched her learn to ride a bike and saw her through graduation gradua-tion at Lehi High School and marriage mar-riage and childbirth are now banding band-ing together to try to help save her life. Susan, who now lives in West Jordan with her husband and three sons, was diagnosed with leukemia in August of 1991. Since then, she has spent most of her time in and out of the hospital undergoing chemotherapy che-motherapy and other treatments. Other than a brief period of remission re-mission in December, she has not made progress, and now a bone marrow transplant is her last 'chance. The operation, currently scheduled sched-uled for May 20, will cost a minimum mini-mum of $250,000 if there are no complications. Friends and family have organized orga-nized and banded together to help defray some of those costs. Susan's parents, Bruce and Colleen Col-leen Peterson, and her husband Davids parents, Beth and Albert Mitchell, along with brothers and sisters, still live in Lehi and are brganizingthe fundraisers andsup-port, andsup-port, along with the help of friends such as Gail Holbrook. A giant yard sale is scheduled for May 16 at the Lehi Armory, 348 West Main, in Lehi. The guard has donated the use of the armory, and many others have donated items for sale. Holbrook said the group is still anxious to gather more donated items to sell. There will also be a bake sale and a drawing. Prizes for the drawing have been donated by several groups, an d tickets tick-ets will be sold at the yard sale. In addition, the group has organized orga-nized a boutique to take place on June 4 and 5 at the Colonial House reception center in Lehi. The Colonial Colo-nial House has donated the use of the building as well, for which the organizers are very grateful, Holbrook said. Many people have donated items for the boutique, and more would be gratefully accepted. The group has also organized a bake sale in conjunction with the boutique. While the group is organized and going strong, Holbrook said they can always use more volunteers to put out and collect cans for donations, dona-tions, gather and price yard sale and boutique items, and monitor the sales. "We have already had a lot of people helping us," said Holbrook. "We really appreciate them. And if there are others who would like to help, we have things they could do." The group would also like to organize or-ganize a golf tournament and an auction.

Karen said Susan joined the family fam-ily so young, as such a sweet young girl, that it is very difficult to see her now fighting to stay alive. "We want to help her however we can," said Karen.

"Even if they pay 80 per cent of it, which we dont know if they will, we have about $50,000 to raise," said Karen.
