It has come to our (FTTF) attention that there is a woman named Elizabeth Bateman from Steamboat Springs, CO who was arrested and being charged with fraud. She set up a fake organization named Colorado Friends Through The Fight. Please understand that organization has absolutely NO affiliation or connection with our FTTF here in Texas.
I am sadden to know there are people who would make such poor decisions and possibly harm organizations which have set out to assist those who are real cancer fighters. See the attached link for more detail.
