Over 2,000 in donated prizes, don't miss out! First 250-300 get door prizes, and a chance for more once in the door!

Tumor Hater: Local Woman Gives Glimpse Of Hope
By Ashley Carrasco / KTVL.COM MEDFORD, Ore - Madison Branaugh, who goes by Maddi, is 5 years old. She was diagnosed with Neurofibromitosis at birth, a disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue creating skin and bone abnormalities. Maddi has a tumor growing from the middle of her back down into her left leg, causing it to be longer than her other one. She also has a tumor growing in the back of her head which can lead to vision loss. There is no cure for Maddi's disorder. Her dad says it is an emotional journey not knowing if his daughter will ever get better. "It's had to deal with. All you can do is trust in God that she'll get better and live a normal life," says Shawn Branaugh. Kelly Matthews is surviving the same condition as Maddi. One night she was laying in her bed dealing with excruciating pain, when she came up with the idea of "Tumor Hater." It is based on the hatred for what she was going through.Matthews along with a friend made T-shirts with the logo and started a fundraiser to help pay for her medical needs. "People I didn't even know were donating. It made me feel acceptable even though i have these tumors." Matthews wanted to do more and help others with tumors. That is when she met Maddi's family. With the help of the community, they decided to put on a dance.All proceeds go to helping Maddi. A couple recently on a dating reality show, Juan Pablo and his Girlfriend Nikki will be there. Nikki and Matthews met in Miami while Matthews was on her honey moon. They became friends on Instagram and Nikki reached out to Matthews, telling her she wanted to get involved in the non-profit. Matthews says she is grateful for all of the support she has received from the community throughout her journey. She says Tumor Hater and the outpour of love has truly changed her life.

The dance party this Saturday at Inn at the Commons from 7 to 11 pm. Entrance is $15.

What a great story. Nikki was the one initiating the offer to get involved. Thanks Carolina!

Maybe they'll come up Highway 1 and stay in Monterey, which is right by me!

Start making those tacos, you might have company for a late snack!

Wait you're in Monterey?? Sounds beautiful!!

Yep, very close. I have a couple of extra rooms if they want to stay for free! They look very happy in those beach pictures, so nice to see.
