HOPE for the Holidays - HOPE for Ashley
The First Annual, "Hope for the Holidays, Hope for Ashley," A Fundraiser to help aid Ashley Simmons' journey with Multiple Sclerosis.

Imagine being 22 years old and being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), not only being diagnosed with MS at such a young age but being diagnosed with a very aggressive debilitating form of MS. Ashley has Primary Progressive MS (PPMS).
Her disease has progressed to the point that she is now wheelchair bound and the one HOPE for Ashley now is to have stem cell transplant surgery.
Friends of the Simmons Family are hosting the First Annual, “Hope for the Holidays, Hope for Ashley,” A Fundraiser with all proceeds to help offset her mounting medical bills.

On the afternoon of Saturday, December 13, 2014, 1:00 – 5:00 p.m., the friends of Ashley Simmons will hold a fundraiser on her behalf at The Spotted Fox Ale House, St Charles, Illinois.
Many of you have grown up knowing the SIMMONS’ family, life-long residents of St Charles. Ashley is a beautiful 22-year-old young woman and the daughter of Brian and Pam Simmons. Ashley’s medical expenses are mounting and she is facing an experimental procedure whereby her stem cells will be garnered and utilized so as to slow down the state of her PPMS. This is a VERY costly endeavor.
