Attorney William D. (Pat) Campbell, of Toronto, Ohio was born March 17, 1925, St. Patrick’s Day, hence the name “Pat”. He served in the Navy during WW II, graduated from The Ohio State University School of Law in 1949 and was an attorney in Steubenville for over 50 years. He was a member of the Empire United Methodist Church, past president of the Jefferson County Bar Association and a member of numerous organizations.
In1998, while fishing in the Ohio River, he turned in the boat and his femur broke. A later biopsy of the femur showed the presence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Pat underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments from1999 to 2002 at the Teramana Cancer Center. Treatment involved numerous hospital stays, doctors' appointments and checkups. He still enjoyed life and continued fishing and playing golf at the Steubenville Country Club.
Pat’s chemotherapy was effective in treating his cancer. However, the chemotherapy did a great deal of damage to his heart. His heart became extremely enlarged and this condition required extensive treatment. Pat received a pacemaker in September, 2009, returned to the hospital in October, 2009 and died on December 10, 2009, the damage to his heart was too great and it could no longer function.
His wife Patricia and son David are pleased that the Campbell name can help promote the Trinity Foundation TEAR Fund that provides financial assistance to cancer patients in need.

Jenny Russlee-Dickinson is a resident of Toronto, Ohio along with her husband G. R. and their three children, Nolan, Russ and Josey. She is employed by the Toronto City Schools as an Intervention and Physical Education teacher.
Jen was affected by breast cancer in April 2009. She found a lump in her left breast just before the birth of her daughter Josey. Josey is now the little girl in Jenny's arm. From there she endured a trying year that included mammograms, biopsies, a lumpectomy, six months of chemo, a bi-lateral mastectomy, radiation, reconstructive surgery and continuous hormonal treatments. Since April 2009, Jen has spent much time at the Teramana Cancer Center, which has been an exceptional treatment center.
She has been blessed to have an outpouring display of support from family, friends, doctors, nurses and the community of Toronto. She was very fortunate to have health insurance to have her financial needs met while undergoing cancer treatment. Jen realizes that many other patients do not have the resources, for this reason, Jen is very proud to help promote the TEAR program that will help others financially while battling cancer. Jen is also very proud to support anything that brings positivity to the community of Toronto, which she feel the Toronto Coalition for Revitalization is helping to make a better future for her and her families hometown. |

The story of Conner Sacripanti, Toronto, Ohio
|
Our son's name is Conner Sacripanti. He is five years old and he is fighting ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). To see him now, he looks like any typical four year old. However, after hearing his story and realizing all he has been through and still goes through, it makes you wonder how he has the strength and stamina in him to deal with it all.
He turned two on November 7, 2009. He hadn't been feeling well the week before and we all wanted to chalk it up to "the flu". However, that was not to be the case. As a mother, I knew something still wasn't right and insisted he be seen again by his pediatrician. A few blood tests later and we received a phone call from his doctor telling us that we needed to immediately take him to Women and Children's Hospital in Charleston, West Virginia, at this time we were living in Parkersburg, West Virginia. We did as we were advised and on November 10, 2009, two doctors walked into Conner's hospital room and informed of us that indeed, our son had Leukemia.
That was the day that our lives changed. Conner's new "normal" would be something we never thought we would have to deal with, but to see him deal with all that he does has changed more than just our lives. I have seen my son deal with things that would bring a grown man to his knees. This disease has taken away his childhood and his hair, it has compromised all of his interactions with others, it has changed the way we deal with normal day to day things. You are never prepared for anyone to tell you that someone you love has Cancer, but, when that someone is your two year old son, you do have to wonder why we were "chosen" to deal with it. It shatters your heart, but to see him be so strong and fight this disease with everything his little body has....that makes you realize...this is why....to show everyone how strong and resilient Conner is.
He is currently receiving chemotherapy intravenously once a month and every day he takes medication by mouth. He gets weekly blood work done to check that his levels are all where they should be and every three months he has to endure a Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap) where spinal and brain fluid are extracted and chemo is injected. This disease can strike any one, no matter age, race, sex, or religious belief. It doesn't matter. But, the treatments for children are just as difficult and severe as they are for the big guys. Conner is currently in remission and we are very pleased with that outcome. However, it isn't over yet. He still receives his treatments and we are still very nervous while we are waiting for the blood results each week. This entire situation has brought our family closer together. We now realize that we are able to deal with any situation that we are put in. To watch your son deal with this day in and day out makes you realize that we are stronger than we thought and that the one who taught us that is our four year old son. Conner is our youngest son and he is a HERO to all of us!!
Won't you help Conner by taking part in the St. Baldricks "Shave Off"

WE HOPE TO HAVE ANSWERS

Emmitt Herrick a St. Bernard and his owners in Toronto. The Herricks
noticed a growth on Emmitt's left leg. They took him to Ohio State University
where he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg. Emmitt was then taken to
New Horizons Animal Hospital where they removed the leg. February 6, 2013 marked
one year of Emmitt being without his left leg. Emmitt will be in the run/walk
