Timmy Dyke and Jackson Dickinson are teaming up and firing up the grills to raise funds for Kaila Hardee's ongoing medical expenses resulting from her battle with cancer.
The duo's Rib Fest will be held at the Madison County Courthouse lawn on Saturday, Feb. 4, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Dinner and two sides are available for donations of $15, while slabs of ribs will be available for $30.
The Hardee family is grateful for the love and support of the community during this time. They have been through a lengthy ordeal, with Kaila receiving news in the summer of 2022 that the cancer had spread to her liver and a muscle in her back. She was also given a report that she had about six months to live. However, according to recent reports coming from her husband, Tommy, the latest scans showed that one of the three cancer spots in Kaila's body was gone.
The doctor stated that the medicines must be working, but Kaila responded, “No, God is healing.” Though Kaila realizes that her battle is not over, she and the family are optimistic that God will continue to carry them through this journey.
