 This trustee August is hotter than ever at Appalachian Wireless, as they are slashing all normal contract pricing on all smartphones by 50% when you sign up for service. Better service, bigger saving, serving you for the last 25 years at Appalachian Wireless. Travel expenses are mounting for the family of three-year-old Hunter Ashley, who's been battling leukemia for a year now. So this year, the annual Jenkins Homecoming Days Benefit Motorcycle Ride will benefit the Ashley family. One of the organizers of the ride, Jenkins resident Dennis Sampson, said there's no one more deserving of the proceeds from the ride than Little Hunter. He's been diagnosed with leukemia and he's having to travel back and forth for treatments and that's very, very hard on the family and very expensive and we're trying to belay some of those expenses for him. Sampson and several others including Letcher County Constable Roger Hunky Hall are organizing the sixth annual benefit ride and he said you don't have to be a biker to take part or donate. You don't have to have a bike, you can have a car, you can walk up and donate but think about this child and put yourself in the situation. It could be your grandchild or your baby next. Sampson said bikers in and around Letcher County are always quick to help children in times of need and Sampson said he and the other organizers of the ride are ready to step up to the plate for Little Hunter. He's innocent little child, he's God's blessing and he just got an unfortunate diagnosis but I know the Lord is behind him and we just want to give him a helping hand him and his family and just make it maybe help them and make it easier as far as financial situation goes.
