Kylie Davis from Troy wanted to go on a camping trip as a respite from her mother’s illness. Kelly’s Angels made it happen.

When Kylie got back to school, she decided she wanted to help Kelly’s Angels, so she organized a school fundraiser.

Over several weeks, students raised money by dressing down in the colors of the Kelly’s Angels logo or any colors representing cancer.

Kylie and her dad came to NewsChannel 13 to present a check for $1,052.

Kelly’s Angels was started by NewsChannel 13’s Mark Mulholland in honor of his wife, Kelly, who died of cancer.
