Anna Grace Klock was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of pediatric brain cancer called Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor on August 4th.

A Benefit Poker Run to Help the family of Anna Klock will begin tomorrow at 10:00AM in Dell Rapids, SD. The poker run will hit the towns of Hartford, Emery, Ethan, Mitchell and Alexandria.

Anna has already had a tumor surgically removed and now has a very tough fight ahead of her. She has started intensive, systemic chemotherapy and will likely have to follow with radiation, stem cell replacement and additional chemo. Each treatment will require a 4-5 day hospital stay. In order for her mom to provide Anna the best possible care, along with her other 3 children, she will discontinue working. This will leave the family with one income and they are askign for the public's help.

For more information please call Kari Hammer at 605-999-4570 or Karen Mannie at 605-270-1791.
