EMMA STRONG





As most of us know, Emma Preston is such a strong, sweet, and a kind girl.Emma lives in Dumas, TX with her little brother and her parents Chandler and Natasha Preston. When Emma was 4 years old, in August 2017, she was diagnosed with a Germ Cell Brain tumor. Emma fought a brain surgery, chemo, radiation, and a nasty fungal Infection. Emma had a year in a half being cancer free, but she relapsed early March 2019.
Emma and her family thought it was best for her to stop radiation, the doctors have given her two to three months to live. Emma is such a caring, sweet girl that she took time out of her own to pray for others just like her. On September 29, the Panhandle  came together and had a private parade just for Emma.On October 19, an event called Emmapalooza was held in her honor. Many people in the community donated everything that was needed for the event. Emma was also crowned the first ever Princess by Cowboy Classic Rodeo Texas Teen. Emma's favorite animal is a unicorn and her favorite holiday is Halloween.
Sunray High School held different fundraisers for this sweet girl. We raised a total of $3,317.59. This money was presented on October 11 to her grandmother Rhonda Smith at the We Are Golden Pep Rally.
