Marblehead is rallying around a 13 year old girl in the area battling an aggressive form of bone cancer. The blue ribbons are adorning cars, flower pots, trees, fence posts, poles, churches and more. Megan is a Marblehead Community Charter Public School seventh-grader diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

In a statement, Megan’s family wrote, “She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma back in August last year and has been battling it ever since. Across the board, her nurses, doctors, friends and neighbors have been amazed at her indomitable spirit and grace through all that cancer has dealt her.”

Four women in the area called the “Ribbon Ladies” started the campaign. As one of the women, Louisa Greene, said, “We all are just blown away. We started this with a few friends and family, and everyone in town has been fabulous. It speaks to how close knit the town is, coming together for a child in their community.”

Megan is actually doing her own charity work while the community rallies around her. Her school recently hosted an event, “Rock for Meg” that raised thousands of dollars for a charity that helps kids who stay at Massachusetts General Hospital’s pediatric floor more fun.
