A fundraiser for a local pastor and his wife will be held Saturday, July 14, at Scott's Creekside Country Cooking at 2064 Oakland Road in Forest City.

"Heather Lovelace is thirty-four years old. She and her husband, Creighton, have been married for thirteen years. They have no children but she is a mother figure to the four-year-old daughter of a young man they helped raise and who both live with her and Creighton. She has a rare form of adenocarcinoma. Heather became very ill back in March. It was found that she had a blocked bile duct, so a stent was put in, and then tests were run on surrounding tissues which were inflamed and that is when they found the cancer. Her liver is very compromised at this point so she cannot take any treatment and the doctors have told her and Creighton that if she could and it were 100% successful, that it would buy her two or three more years at the most. Right now they have been told she has two to three months to live. She has not been able to come home due to recurring infections for which she is being given antibiotics." reported family friend Amanda Swart.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 14, at Scott's Creekside Country Cooking Restaurant and will begin at 7:00am with breakfast until 10:30. Dinner will be served from 11:00am until 1:00pm. There will be a silent auction, bake sale and other items for sale.

Anyone interested in making a donation (who cannot attend the fundraiser) can send a check to Creighton Lovelace at 1384 Bethany Church Road, Forest City, NC, 28043. Any questions can be directed to either Amanda Swart at 864-703-1469 or Amy Jenkins at 828-429-0299.
