Please give and help fight cancer

To the Editor:

This is in response to your article: “DA undergoes breast cancer treatment,” concerning our elected/head District Attorney, Ashley Hornsby Welch.

Ms. Welch and I have been fierce adversaries in court, but have never been enemies. That experience alone proves that she is a fighter and will not back down from cancer. She is thoroughly and completely entitled to our support. One option to consider is a donation to the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org. Using the Give in Honor or Memorial link in the upper right corner of the website will result in a card or e-card being sent to her recognizing your donation. A mailing address that will work is C/O Office of the District Attorney, 5 West Main Street, Franklin, North Carolina 28734.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
