Hinckley -
Friends and family of a 10-year-old girl who was diagnosed with cancer are raising money for her treatment.
Mikayla Violette, 10, was diagnosed with bone cancer last month.
A bake sale fundraiser was held at the Good Will Hinckley school Thursday to help her out.
All the baked goods were donated by family, friends, and students at the school. "Yeah, I feel a lot better knowing she's going to have money put towards that and she knows there's going to be people behind her to help her overcome this and there's a long life ahead of her that she can fulfill," said Good Will Hinckley sophomore Kayla McKenney.
The folks behind Thursday's event say they'll host several other fundraisers in central Maine over in the coming months.
WABI will keep you posted.
