e Parker and equestrian community has come together to raise over $11,000 in one week for 19-year-old Quincy Rohrbach to ful ll her bucket list after being diagnosed with a rare bone cancer.

“ e equestrian community is just really strong here in Colorado and all over, really, everybody has just been super supportive and wonderful,” said Kristina Matthews, fundraiser director and family friend.

While riding her horse last summer, Rohrbach had a minor fall and hurt her shoulder. When she got an x-ray, the imaging showed a bone tumor in the humerus bone of her upper right arm. A further PET scan and a bone biopsy revealed the mass to be osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
