I had to take a minute and report on another way that people are showing their love and support for Garth Abbott! Melanie Hollingshead, a long time family friend, organized and put on a bake sale today. Here is an update in her own words,Well I have to say that this been an amazing experience. I've always know I had wonderful friends but I have also been touched by the kindness of strangers. The City of Henderson is a wonderful place to work and hosting this bake sale only proved why that is so. After sending an email out to a few friends asking for help baking I had over 20 people offer to bring in goodies. And even more helped get the word out. People I didn't even know were baking and buying all day long. Friends families came in - not for goodies but just to donate money. I am just blessed to know so many amazing people. So far the bake sale has made around $700 and there were so many goodies that they are still being sold at offices around Henderson. I just wanted to share this with you so you all know how many people have been touched by what your family is going through and how happy they are to help a man as great as Garth. Thanks for letting us all help. Melanie

Melanie so ROCKS!!!
Thanks for the love ladies :)
I am just blessed to know so many amazing and loving people. All week long friends and colleagues have asked me about Garth and have immediately reached into their pockets and handed me money. I walked into the room the other day and had a friend throw me his wallet and said to take whatever cash he had inside. It has been such a great lesson in gratitude and giving.
Awesome idea Melanie! If I were near, I'd buy all your nom noms!
