🎗️ At 17, Alex was preparing for college applications and band performances

not six cycles of chemotherapy. When West Forsyth senior Alex was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma earlier this year, her world was put on pause. She endured 6 rounds of chemo, time away from her beloved marching band, and temporary hand numbness that kept her from her passion for drawing. Through it all, Alex showed us what true bravery looks like, backed by her amazing family (including her brother Carson, who shaved his head in solidarity!) and a sense of humor that kept everyone smiling. Today, Alex is officially finished with chemo, back at school, drawing again, and gearing up to ring the bell in December. To top it off, she is embracing her short post-chemo hair growth in the best way possible: by dressing up as Eleven from Stranger Things for Halloween! We are celebrating Alex and her family as our honored guests at the 7th Annual Ring The Bell Benefit on November 4th at Glover Park Brewery in Marietta. A special thank you to our 2026 Presenting Sponsors for making this celebration possible: Encore Hospitality Carpet (@encorehospitality), Voyles Automotive, Poole’s Pharmacy, and Glover Park Brewery (@gloverparkbrewery).
