Com­mu­nity comes together for Courtney

The plight of Card­ing­ton senior Court­ney Robin­son has brought a com­mu­nity and county together.

The cheer­leader under­went brain surgery Wednes­day to remove a tumor dis­cov­ered after she suf­fered a seizure after Fri­day night’s foot­ball game.

A Face­book post on Thurs­day morn­ing reported Court­ney got through the surgery and was awake at Children’s Hos­pi­tal in Columbus.

Twit­ter, Face­book and Insta­gram have been abuzz with com­ments, well wishes and updates on Courtney’s con­di­tion and situ­ation. Her friends began a move­ment of wear­ing her favorite color, pur­ple, and some even shaved their heads. The pur­ple move­ment spread to High­land, Mount Gilead, Pleas­ant and Buck­eye Val­ley Schools.

A story on Court­ney will appear in next week’s Mor­row County Sentinel.
