Special to The Vindicator
In an effort to raise funds for the medical care of 1-year-old Ava Timko of Canfield, who is undergoing chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia, Mike Hammond and his daughter, Stephanie, bravely waded into the frigid waters of the Mahoning River, under the bridge at the corner of County Line Road and River Road N.E., near Lake Milton, on Feb. 8. They were joined in the fundraiser by Courtney Bingham, who is not pictured. As a result of their warmhearted efforts, the three were able to raise more than $1,000, with the majority of the funds donated by members of the First Federated Church of North Jackson, and Lake Milton Presbyterian Church.
