Fundraiser benefits 6-year-old with kidney cancer By Angel Carpenter Blue Mountain Eagle A fundraiser with a lot of heart is benefiting a young Mt. Vernon boy who is undergoing weekly chemotherapy treatments in Portland. When professional photographer Tanni Wenger heard that 6-year- old Wyatt Simmons was fighting Wilms Tumor, a rare kidney cancer that is said to be highly treat- able, she looked for a way to help. She ral- lied a group of about 15 students Wyatt Simmons to join in a commu- nity cause to assist the boy and his family. The 15 are a group of youths who chose Wenger to take their senior photos. The team held a can collection and are still gathering funds through change buckets at John Day businesses and an account at Bank of East- ern Oregon — the bank account name is Wyatt Strong Senior Project. They are also selling T-shirts ($18) and hood- ies ($35) with sizes for children and adults. Wyatt enjoys the out- doors, including fish- ing, so the graphic on the T-shirt is a fish being caught with the words “Wyatt Strong” at the top. All proceeds bene- fit a swing set project for Wyatt’s family, and any additional funds will be given directly to the family. “Our team wanted to bring some happiness to their lives by building Wyatt and his two broth- ers a swing set,” Wenger said. Wyatt has two broth- ers, Noah, 9, and Blan- ton, 1, and their mother is Araya Anderson. The family lived in Burns for several years and moved to Mt. Vernon this year. The team is raising $900 for the swing set, which they plan to build in spring of 2020, when the ground has thawed. The students involved in the project are from Grant Union, Prairie City, Monument and Burns high schools. “It’s something new to bring kids together to give back to their com- munity,” Wenger said of the program she’s started. Payments for the shirts can be made payable to Wyatt Strong Senior Project and dropped off at Humbolt Elementary School in Canyon City or at Tanni Wenger Pho- tography Studio at 60355 Highway 26 in John Day. For more informa- tion, call Wenger at 541-620-3045.
