Support Team Charity
Thursday, May 14, 2015




The Walking Horse Report has had it brought to our attention that another one of our own is battling breast cancer. Charity Latham is the wife of walking horse trainer David Latham. The family does not have health insurance and they are required to make a minimum down payment of $10,000 before treatment can begin. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been started to help the family with medical expenses. David and Charity have two children, Ashley (17) and Makayla (11). They reside in Joppa, Ala.

Here is a link to the GoFundMe site: http://www.gofundme.com/u3j4b7f

Another fundraiser that is going on simultaneously is being directed by Lora Holcombe. They are accepting donations in return for t-shirts for “Go Team Charity”. Donations and shirt requests may be mailed to 98 Vaughn Circle Road Fletcher, NC 28732.  Holcombe may be reached directly at 828-606-7965 or 828-687-1752.
