TO THE EDITOR:
My name is Princy Varghese, and I am the sister of Vincey Varghese, who recently passed away on March 16, 2016.
She suffered from a rare brain tumor called sarcoma. Less than one percent of people in the U.S. are diagnosed with this type of cancer.
Thank you so much for all of your support in the article that was recently published in The Daily Tar Heel.
Yesterday my family and I, along with Pastor Troy Davis of Calvary Church, published a gofundme.com/vinceyvarghese campaign. We have compiled over $50,000 in debt in just one weeks’ time. Our goal is to raise $75,000, and a portion of every donation will go to fighting pediatric cancer. We are asking if you would consider publishing this GoFundme Campaign in next week’s DTH.
I am also in contact with Ashley Buige, a current student at UNC-Chapel Hill.
A group of her friends have started a team dedicated to Vincey to walk in her memory. The walk is at UNC-Chapel Hill on Fetzer Field on Friday, April 15 from 6 p.m. to April 16 at 9 a.m.
Since Vincey was active in Relay for Life, we want to continue on in her legacy in supporting this cause.
