INNERKIP - The Innerkip community is rallying together to help one of their own.

A fundraising event will be held at the Innerkip Community Centre on Sunday August 12th, to help raise money for 25 year old Jessica-Lyn Lee's medical expenses.

Taylor Wilkinson, a close friend of hers, says Lee is battling a deadly disease while not covered by OHIP.

"She's in stage 4 stomach cancer. This treatment that she's currently stressed to pay for is the only treatment she is hoping that will help."

The family friendly event will include prize raffles, a 50/50 draw, free food, a DJ and kid's games. It will take place between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and admission is free. You can find more information on their Facebook event page.

If you can't make it out the Jess-Lyn's Hot Mess in a Dress GoFundMe page is collecting donations. Wilkinson says it has been very successful so far.

"We have had a goal of $2,500 and we've beat that but any donation is amazing."

As of this afternoon, 44 people donated a total of $3,285.
