Good News, Bad News
Life was already tough enough for Renton's Katie Rippon. Now, it's gotten tougher. Rippon, who was diagnosed with breast cancer 17 months ago, has been told the cancer has spread to her brain.
The good news? Because the diagnosis came just before she was going to be laid off from her job she was able to go on long-term disability.
The bad news? Her disability income isn't enough to cover basic living expenses. But her employer paid for her medical insurance through March. Someone else is now picking up that cost.
And here's a little more good news: Members of Cherri's Angels, an American Cancer Society Relay for Life team, are holding an auction April 30 to raise money for the relay. The event is scheduled from 6 to 11 p.m. at the IBEW Local 46 Hall, 19802 62nd Ave. S., Kent. Tickets are $5 and proceeds from the ticket sale and from the sale of some auction items will benefit Rippon.
