the essential
Touched by the fight of young Lyse, 12 years old, suffering from synovialosarcoma, a rare disease, the members of the Innerwheel club in Agen decided to dedicate an exceptional clearance sale to her in order to raise funds and contribute to the already existing prize pool. launched by his mother for the purchase of a sports prosthesis.
The teenager is unfortunately forced to undergo an amputation scheduled in principle this week. The disease in the form of an aggressive tumor attacks soft tissues. “We were deeply moved by his story when we read the article in Le Petit Bleu and we became closer to his mother,” underlines the president of the Innerwheel club in Agen.
Her mother Sarah launched a fundraiser for Leetchi (Support for Lyse in the face of her cancer and the loss of her foot), followed by an outpouring of generosity within her college, to offer her a magnificent prosthesis and give her back a smile and the moral. Her daughter is keen on sports and gymnastics at the Patriotes Agenais. Lyse also kicked off the SUA-Biarritz match last Thursday.
“The Innerwheel fall sale organized in November is the flagship action of our service club. At the end, there was a lot of stock of children’s clothing (from babies to 14 years old) remaining. So the idea was born firstly to open a pop-up shop and dedicate the entire proceeds to Lyse and her family”, indicates Isabelle Ciaponi, the secretary of the service club.
Five days of good deals
Also from May 14 to May 18, at Galerie 110, whose owner Benjamin Etchart, painter, also supports this great action, a clearance sale is organized during the five days from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 110 boulevard de la République in Agen . Clothing, childcare items and board games will be sold at attractive prices. Frédéric Delbert, manager of the Martin-Delbert bookstore, spontaneously made his contribution by offering board games. “We are asked a lot, we do not respond to everything favorably, but when it comes to charity and solidarity, we respond,” explains the bookseller who for personal reasons says he is sensitive to this generous cause and the ordeal this family went through.
Léo, Mélanie, Lyse…
The women of Innerwheel regularly commit to mothers and children through support for foster homes, a Mélanie room for hearing minor victims of sexual abuse, or special cases that They want to provide support on their own scale. Whether it was little Léo suffering from cerebral palsy also called cerebral palsy who was operated on in the USA, the involvement of his District in favor of the Toulouse association “A blade for running” for the benefit of a little boy or Lyse’s fight again. “Helping him was decided unanimously by the members,” concludes Isabelle Ciaponi.
So to allow Lyse to be able to regain the use of her foot later via a special prosthesis to be changed every six months due to her growth, you are invited to open the door of the pop-up store from May 14 to 18 for solidarity purchases. Schools, associations and families were made aware of this exceptional sale.
