NEWS DIGEST Red Solo Cup fundraiser Jan. 24
Amber Ott Jenkins, left, and her sister, Annie Ott Siharath, have many happy memories of their late dad, Lt. Norman Ott. Jenkins is event lead for the 2015 Azle Relay For Life.
Azle Relay For Life gears up to fight cancer by carla noah stutsman Amber Ott Jenkins hates cancer with a passion. It stole her father from her when she was just 19 years old. “He wasn’t able to walk me or my sister down the aisle, and he never got to meet his grandchildren,” Jenkins says. “There are so many milestones he never saw because he fought cancer.” Her father was Lt. Norman Ott, beloved Azle police and DARE Officer who even served as Interim Azle Police Chief for a time. That vibrant, active officer and father fought valiantly, and his daughter insists it’s a battle he didn’t lose. “I refuse to let cancer win anything, ever,” Jenkins said. That’s the same attitude her friend Brandi Dickey had. Although Dickey died in October 2014 of melanoma, the 33-year-old never stopped battling, and her family and friends have vowed to continue that fight. That’s why Jenkins stepped up to become event lead for Azle Relay For Life. The event, benefiting the
American Cancer Society, is slated for 6 p.m.-midnight Friday, April 24 at Central Park, 263 West Main Street. This year’s theme is Carnival for a Cure. A kickoff event is set for Thursday, Jan. 29, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Azle, 1017 Boyd Road. “Cancer affects us all – it seems we all have friends or family who barely started their lives and never got a chance,” Jenkins said. “After losing Brandi, I decided enough was enough and joined Azle Relay For Life. It’s an amazing group of people who all have stories of friends, family, and loved ones they fight for.” “We are all there for one reason and that’s to fight back for the hope of a cure,” she continued. “Azle’s Relay will be a night of celebration for those who are survivors, those currently fighting and for those we’ve lost. I choose to fight so others won’t have to endure the pain of cancer.” To sign up or get further information, contact Jenkins at amber041380@gmail.com or 817944-3295.
