Abby Recker, 17, was diagnosed with a rare cancer, Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), about one year ago. Since then, she has raised nearly $3,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help others battling pediatric cancer.
For Padua Franciscan High School senior Abby Recker, that moment took place nearly a year ago when the honors student-athlete was diagnosed with a rare cancer, Alveolar soft part sarcoma .
“Even before this diagnosis, I’ve always liked helping others and doing what I can to give back to my community. Just the opportunities I’ve had to do that since then have been really beneficial to me.” “I was definitely not expecting to raise that much,” Abby said. “Just to know that people really care that much and are willing to donate their time and money for this cause was eye-opening. It definitely helped me stay positive throughout this journey.”That’s when Padua Franciscan High School girls basketball head coach Jake Lantz offered her an opportunity to volunteer at her alma mater, St. Columbkille School.
“Just still being able to stay involved in the sport somehow and trying to be a good role model for the girls on the team was really important to me.”Up next is attending The Ohio State University in the fall.
