Roadside cherry sale planned Thursday to help brain-tumor patient

| How to help | West Seattle news

Thanks to Angela for e-mailing tonight to share the news about a roadside fundraiser planned for Thursday at Emma Schmitz Overlook along Beach Drive. 31-year-old Jessica Oldwyn, who lives in Green Lake, is in the third year of fighting a brain tumor, and writing about her fight online. As she writes in a recent entry, she has an experimental treatment coming up, and the ongoing fight is costly – so her parents are going to sell organic cherries to raise money to help. They plan to be at the waterfront park 11 am-1 pm this Thursday (and as Jessica writes, other locations later).

Aka Constellation Park. Like the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem. Emma Schmitz Overlook at Constellation Park.

Constellation Park is the stretch immediately south of Alki Point – Emma Schmitz Overlook is the stretch across from Me-Kwa-Mooks about a mile (maybe a little less) south. It ends at Jacobsen.

Quick update! Since the weather has been a bit interesting, there will be non-organic bings and organic Rainiers available. Check out her blog (linked above) to learn more!
