When Bella was 2 1/2 she was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma. In December of 2009 she was declared "No Evidence of Disease" (NED). On January 25, 2012, a tumor was discovered on Bella’s neck. Her family has faith that Bella will once again beat this monster. Please pray for Bella, she, her family and her friends need your prayers for a cure! Because the family doesn’t have the tremendous funds it takes to wage this fight for the life of little Bella they need a lot of help and that is what Wesley Chapel Nissan owner Jay Rosario and general manager Mark Perryman intend to do. ”We at Wesley Chapel Nissan will dedicate ourselves to the goal of raising $25,000 for Bella by donating $100 for every car we sell in the month of September to the cause said Perryman.”

It was a great turnout this bright and shinning morning in Lutz as friends and family of Karen Elrod Williams, co-founder of the Lutz Patriots. Their group installed a memorial stone in front of the Old Lutz School in thanksgiving of her dedication to our soldiers around the world. The weather was perfect, and it was wonderful to see so many flags waving and hear cars beeping up and down Hwy 41 to say "thanks".

When Mike Lawrence was promoted to head coach at Wiregrass Ranch during the offseason, he made it his mission to promote discipline and a winning attitude for the Bulls, who had not won a game in more than two years. His impact has shown as Wiregrass Ranch is off to its best start since 2009 — 2-0 — after defeating Hudson 25-7 Friday night.

Teamwork is awesome! Thanks so much to Precision Kia of Wesley Chapel for putting in a brand new transmission, Custom Mobility, Inc. for GREATLY discounting the cost of repairing Angelica's lift and the Trinity Rotary for donating funds to cover the cost.

Angelica is an outgoing and vivacious teen with a penchant for talking on the phone, listening to One Direction, and going to the mall. In other words, your typical teen girl! Her favorite show is Criminal Minds and any movie starring Channing Tatum is one she wants to see! She loves Starbucks and hanging out with her friends at the mall, but that had become a little more challenging for the last two years.
