FCF Ambassador Projects

Lexi Beermann, daughter of FCF executive director Bill Beermann, has a 10-year old jewelry business.  In celebration of that, Neckisses has a limited edition anniversary necklace.  10% of all sales from that necklace will be donated to the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation.  Check out Lexi's beautiful work at www.neckisses.com.  The picture of the anniversary neckiss/necklace is to the left.

Kelly Langford, an FHC patient in Alabama, had a 39th birthday New Years Eve Birthday Bash in Hoover, Alabama to honor three Alabama women with FHC raging from 23 – 38 years old. Kelly's Dad’s rock n- roll band played.  Everyone had a blast!  Between ticket the price, an auction and raffle over $3000 was raised for FCF.

• 100% of ticket sales and donations went to FCF!

Ambassador Toni Helen is the webmaster of an entertainment website (www.young-restless.com) which provides a day ahead recap of the soap The Young and The Restless. The site gets 1.5 to 2 million hits per month and has many loyal readers.  Toni's stepson has fibrolamellar and she is hoping to leverage her readership into support for, and awareness of, Fibrolamellar. Toni runs advertising campaigns on the site which support operating costs. She has replaced one of the paid ads with a promotion for FCF!  There is a graphic link on the front page http://www.young-restless.com and an appeal on page 3 - http://www.young-restless.com/spoiler3.html  In addition, she has included the link in her daily mail out (200 subscribers) and will post a donation button some time this month also (as well as posting a note on her message board (1,500 members).  What a unique way to spread the word about this disease and hopefully raise some money.  Thank you Toni!

Ashley Summerlin Murphy, FHC patient and author of Daddy’s Briefcase sent the following message:
“…a portion of the first years proceeds from Daddy’s Briefcase will go to the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation!!! Ya’ll keep up the hardwork over at FCF even on the days it doesn’t feel like your making a difference, you really are. As long as I’ve been in this FHC world this is the most activity I have seen in one place. All of us pulling this together to make it work! We might not find that “cure” but we will find love, peace, hope, treatment, doctors, etc., for others. Something I have been passionate about for a long time – kinda like Tucker!!!

Carrie Lynn Reiners, wife of fibrolamellar patient Dustin, sold “jelly watches” (like Swatch watches) at a local country fair called Smoke on the Water in Washington, North Carolina Oct 21-22.  She donated proceeds to FCF.  Thanks Carrie! 

FCF Ambassador Nel Andrews was the guest bartender on Sat Oct 1 at Captain Larry’s Bar & Grill, 601 East Fort Avenue, Baltimore.  Festivities included games and drink specials.  All bartender tips were donated to FCF.  It was a great event and special thanks to Nel for organizing and publicizing such a creative fun way to raise money for fibrolamellar liver cancer.

Autumn Smith, wife of fibrolamellar patient Mark, is a jewelry designer.  She donated 30% of all her sales for the months of September and October to the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation!  Please check out her website at:  http://designsbyautumn.etsy.com
