Benefit held for local woman

PORT BYRON -- Community members came out to the Port Byron American Legion Sunday afternoon to support a local woman who was diagnosed with cancer.

Bonnie Harmon, a mother of two, was diagnosed with breast cancer, lung cancer and lymphoid cancer last fall. Organized by Bonnie's two daughters, Nicole Townsend and Leanna Nervina, and her best friend Marcha Blaisdell among others, the benefit was held in order to offset Bonnie's medical expenses.

"She has had the worst luck," Townsend said. "Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong."
