In an effort
to bring awareness and recognition of the heroic efforts of Andrew Frayer, a
seven-year-old Rolla resident, who is courageously facing a battle against
cancer, Mayor Bill Jenks, III is proclaiming Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012 ‘Andrew Frayer Day’. Pictured with Mayor
Jenks at the proclamation signing ceremony at Rolla City Hall on Oct. 8 are (l
to r: Wanda Lucian, Kindergarten teacher at Mark Twain Elementary School; Dr.
Gerry Mitchell, with The Mitchell Clinic Chiropractic office in St. James, Mo.,
and Kim Martin, Resource Teacher, Mark Twain Elementary.
Ms. Lucian and Ms. Martin, who are two of
Andrew’s teachers at Mark Twain Elementary, spent a couple of days in June
visiting Andrew at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
where Andrew is undergoing cancer treatment for Ewing Sarcoma, a rare bone
cancer which only affects 200 people each year.
Through the generous efforts of The Mitchell
Clinic, The Wish 5-K and 10-K Walk/Run will be held on Sat., Oct. 13 beginning
at 9 a.m. at The Mitchell Clinic (120 S. Jefferson St., St. James) as a
fund-raising event to help raise $5,000 to send Andrew, who is a Make-A-Wish
recipient, to Disney World. (Scott Grahl/City of Rolla photo)

Thank you all so much for doing this. Your generosity, is very much appreciated. We still have at least three more months of treatment here at St. Jude. We miss our friends, and family, but know that this is the best place Andrew can be at the moment.
