Katie and Krissy Italiano, eighth graders at the Belmonte Middle School who play on the Saugus High School freshman girls basketball team, have donated $1,000 to Mass. General Hospital Pancreatic Cancer Research.
The girls sold purple bracelets with the inscribed words ?No One Fights Alone? on them to raise funds for this worthwhile cause. On Dec. 31, they presented a check to the oncology team at Mass. General Hospital. Beth and Steve Tichy helped fund the venture by donating the cost of the bracelets.
The Italiano?s father, the inspiration behind this endeavor, has been battling pancreatic cancer since his diagnosis in July 2011.
On Feb. 14, the Italiano girls and their SHS freshman teammates donned purple shirts with the cancer ribbon in an attempt to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer. The girls designed and made the shirts with help from Krissy Davey. The team looked awesome, and appropriately closed out the season with a big win against Winthrop.
