Community Service

At just the age of six in 2012, her neighbor Avalanna Routh passed from ATRT, a rare cancerous tumor in the brain and spinal cord. When her family heard that she was diagnosed with this type of cancer, she, along with my sister and cousins, created a group we called the “A’ Team.” From 2009 to around 2015, we spent numerous hours singing, dancing, cheering, and selling lollipops at different places such as the West Newbury Food Mart and Hodgie's Ice Cream in Amesbury, where we collected hundreds of dollars for research. They even cheered on the volunteer teams pedaling in 50K spinathons at Latitudes Gym in Methuen, while also entertaining the customers at Spa Ni'Joli which was next door. They appeared on Fox New’s Ziptrip and in Newburyport News in 2012 to help spread awareness. We even participated in the Jimmy Fund Walk in honor of her when she passed. This experience, from cheering, fundraising, and even raising awareness has humbled me. It taught her a lot of lessons about herself and life in general. I have learned to not take the little things in life for granted and to always live life to the fullest. Being able to bring my positivity, leadership, and commitment to helping others, all to spread awareness and money for Avalanna was an honor. It was such an honor to have known Avalanna and be able to help her and her family in any way, big or small. It taught her to appreciate everything in life and she will forever be in my heart
