Dear Dallas and Lehman Communities:

The recent "Courage for Corey" walk/run sponsored by the Dallas and Lake-Lehman field hockey teams raised nearly $11,000 for Corey Ehret, a 15-year-old Dallas School District student recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Shown at the event are, from left, Corey Ehret, Christopher Ehret, Jean Lipski, Lake-Lehman field hockey coach; Mary Ehret, Doug Ehret and Brenden Ehret.

The Ehret family would like to thank the Dallas and Lehman communities, including the school districts, for their kind and generous support given at the recent “Courage for Corey” Day 5K Race/Walk. The family would like to especially thank Jean Lipski and Dr. Paul Reinert who brought both the Lake-Lehman and Dallas School Districts together to host such a community event. In addition, they thank Wyoming Valley West and Holy Redeemer students for their support, also.

We would also like to thank St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and the Lehman-Idetown United Methodist Church.

Support such as this has strengthened our family’s battle against this type of rare pediatric cancer. Knowing that our communities are behind us gives us much strength to begin the new day.

We can only sum it up by quoting Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Our sincere thanks and appreciation.

The Ehret family
