Gwendolyn\u2019s Journey on Facebook<\/a>, taking people along for the ride and giving them the option to donate towards Gwendolyn\u2019s procedures.<\/p>\n\u201cThe community support has been amazing but at the same time I don’t feel like children with cancer get enough exposure, there’s so many people that don’t even have a clue that it is right here in their hometown,\u201d said Baughn.<\/p>\n
But one duo wants to change that. Racecar driver Todd Warnick and Bryana McDonnell came across Gwendolyn\u2019s story and wanted to help.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had seen posts about her going through some medical treatment, and I reached out to him about maybe doing a benefit with some of my other sponsors,” said Warnick. “Childhood Cancer sucks and it doesn\u2019t matter what kind of cancer it is, what kind of sickness you may have, we’re going to do what we can to help.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the help of local Shellukes Bar & Grill and multiple sponsors, people will be able to support Gwendolyn\u2019s fight. Gwendolyn\u2019s Journey Childhood Cancer Benefit is on March 28 at Shellukes Bar & Grill. There will be silent auctions, raffle giveaways, free oil changes and activities for kids.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just want everybody to get together and do what they can to help. If you can’t financially support, that\u2019s okay, you can be there emotionally and show that little girl she has a team behind her,\u201d said McDonnell.<\/p>\n
And with another upcoming procedure, Gwendolyn\u2019s parents were grateful for the support.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so thankful for them, we wouldn’t even be having the event if it wasn’t for them. We’re very blessed at the same time, even though we’re going through a lot. So, it has been amazing to see everybody rally behind her,\u201d said Baughn.<\/p>\n
