Marshall County Childhood Cancer Awareness Corporation

Founded by Brenda Crow and Brenda Frohnapfel, Marshall County Childhood Cancer Awareness Corporation (MCCCAC) was started in July of 2016. Brenda Crow is a school secretary who has been raising money for childhood cancer for two years.  Brenda Frohnapfel is a school bus driver who lost her daughter, Abby, to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in August of 2015.  Abby was an honors student at John Marshall High School and was very active in her school, church, and community. Abby was a healthy teen until her diagnosis. Her form of cancer was extremely fast growing, and she passed away after only 57 days.  She was 16 years old.  The Frohnapfel family is very happy to be in on the forming of the MCCCAC.  They feel it is a wonderful way to honor Abby.
