Bush book donated to
support Mandy’s Sunshine Run
Decision
Points, a book written by President George W. Bush was offered
for bidding to benefit “Mandy’s Sunshine Run”. The sixth annual
running of this race will be held in the Greenville city park on
September 17, 2011. Mandy Green's family and friends organized
this 5K Run/Walk to help fund the Mandy Green Class of 2013 Memorial
Scholarship Fund at the HOPE Foundation established by Jesse and
Tammy Green in memory of their daughter. Mandy passed away on May
10, 2005 after a four and a half year battle with Wilm's Tumor, a rare
childhood cancer. She was ten years old. Her classmates
were very supportive and protective of Mandy during her struggle with
cancer through the years. The fund was established to reflect and
payback the loving support Mandy received from her classmates and
friends. The winning bid was offered by Pete Hemer, who also
received a bookplate personally autographed by President Bush.
