JACKSON — The inspiring spirit of Camden Bailey was celebrated anew by friends and family at the former Thompson House Eatery in Jackson last Saturday afternoon to mark the first anniversary of the founding of the organization he helped set up, the Camden Bailey Cancer Foundation.
Quest2Cure Osteosarcoma is the organization’s motto.
