Hatches chosen
The Hatch family from Sykeston has been chosen as the Hero Family State Representatives for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s national fundraising weekend, Alex’s Lemonade Days held June 12-14.
Monica Hatch was an active girl who played sports, was a 4-H Girl Scout and studied horses. A serious cough led to difficulty breathing and ultimately to a diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma. She bravely started treatment with the thought, “You have to face your fears or they take over.” Hatch was declared cancer- free twice, but sadly it did not last. Through her entire battle she never let her cancer stop her from doing the things she loved. When nothing more could be done, she decided to live every day she had left to the fullest.
