Making a Difference

We like to think we make a difference every newscast, but some stories are more special than others.
Tonight, Six News Amelia Graham reported a story about a young girl with cancer. It was a follow up to a story she did back in December. It chronicled the health difficulties of a young girl named Emily who, because of her leukemia, needed blood platelet donations.
Our story prompted lots of donations, but none more surprising than the one from a local soldier who traveled 7,000 miles from Korea. Sgt. Eric Gann said he'd been away from home for a while and wanted to do something for his community. His donation was his way to give back a little, and to help a little girl in need.
It's nice when your work results in such good deeds.
