One of the American Cancer Society’s Tribute of Hope Honoree is Wes Rollo. Wes is a 16 year old Junior at Natchitoches Central High School. In 2013, Wes was diagnosed with A L L Leukemia. Wes said that raising money for and supporting cancer research is very important to he and his family. He hopes that one day St. Jude’s will no longer be a hospital, but a museum where people can go and see what they have done since they opened in 1962. He hopes they can read about the research that lead to the cure for all cancers.Tickets to the Belles and Beaus Gala, which will be held Oct. 26 at Melrose Plantation, are available for $100 and can be purchased by calling 318-219-1668 or by visiting main.acsevents.org/bellesandbeausnatchitoches.
