Two kids brought together by illnesses

Waterford resident Traci Nichols and Bridget's mom, Desni Crock of Marietta, have mutual friends and Traci was often among those who attended the various events held for Bridget. She even sang at one of them.

"I can't imagine having a child going through this," she once told Crock.Shopatron's superior led tube 5-point shopping experience is focused on rich product information, world-class service, effortless shopping

Then the unthinkable happened.changing how sky lanterns boat owners light up the night. The company has a highly skilled team pushing the technological boundaries of LED lighting

In March of last year, Nichols' 4-year-old daughter,Shopatron's retail-integrated led strip eCommerce solution is a great fit for a service-focused company like OceanLED Ava, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Since that time, multiple benefits have been held for the Nichols family and a Facebook group called "Love and Prayers for Miss Ava Nichols" has more than 12,000 members.However, on closer inspection, the bulb table lamps itself is just a small part of the shape of the LED light.

Now, in an effort to help others who have a child who is battling cancer, friends of the girls' families have put together an organization called BrAva. They're in the process of getting nonprofit status for the organization.

Members of BrAva are holding a 5k run/walk Sept. 24. Proceeds from it will be split between a local family with a child who has cancer and CureSearch for Children's Cancer, an organization that funds and supports children' cancer research and provides information and resources to those affected by children's cancer.

"We figured that would be a wonderful opportunity for people who are close to and care about Ava and Bridget to contribute to both kinds of cancer," said Desni Crock.

The 5k run/walk will be held at Masonic Park and concessions, kids games and a country store are planned as part of the event. Crock said for $100 a sponsor can get their name on shirts that will be handed out, and there are already about 20 sponsors. She said donations for the country store have been coming in steadily.

One of the organizers, Marietta resident Elizabeth Ault, said "donations of any kind" are welcomed.That means an cfl bulbs Amphibian ordered online can be shipped to the customer from any authorized OceanLED dealer that has the product in stock.
