Around Wyoming, Wednesday, April 3

A young Jackson girl recently got to celebrate the end of her round of chemo with a supporter all the way from Australia. The Jackson Hole News and Guide reports almost-four-year-old Parker Felton had a Bell Ringing Ceremony at Salt Lake Children’s Hospital after her treatment was done. It’s a tradition for patients after they finish chemotherapy to ring a bell in a salute to a hopeful future ahead. And on a video screen to celebrate with Parker was Morgan Timms. Timms had photographed Parker throughout her treatment but got a new job and moved back home to Australia before Parker’s chemo ended. Her attendance was an added surprise to a big day for Parker.
