A special fundraiser is being held today and tomorrow for a two year-old Congers girl suffering from a rare pediatric brain cancer. Lily Dauksza is fighting Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, doctors said last month she has just six- to nine months to live. Marie Wood is the owner of Tumble-Bee Gymnastics in Nanuet, and they’re hosting a Cartwheel-a-Thon fundraiser today and tomorrow for Lily…
The Cartwheel-a-Thon is being held at Tumble-Bee Gymnastics on Market Street in Nanuet today from 10 to six and tomorrow from one to eight, and we’re told you don’t have to be able to do a cartwheel to help out. Former Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden will be on hand tomorrow from 2-8pm helping raise funds for Lily. Online pre-registration is required. The GoFundMe page to help support Lily in her cancer battle has raised about $193,000 so far.
