Local Woman Holds Fundraiser for Richard's Journey

A local sales consultant is holding a fundraiser for 7-year-old Richard Culliver, a Lexington boy with an inoperable brain tumor. 

Amy Heydt is a senior consultant with Thirty-One, a line of purses, bags, totes and accessories. People who shop on her website can choose for the proceeds to go to Richard's Journey.

Heydt says 100 percent of the proceeds will go to helping Richard's mother Stephanie with rising medical costs, daily living costs and helping Richard achieve his dreams, which are chronicled on the Richard's Journey Facebook page.

People who order before midnight Monday will be entered to win an "Inside-Out" bag. Plus, the person with the largest retail order will receive a goodie bag of Thrity-One products. 

Heydt wants to remind people that anyone living in the United States can order.

To place an order, visit Heydt's website at www.mythirtyone.com/AHeydt. Remember to choose "Richard's Journey Fundraiser" after you click on "Order."
