GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.- A 9-year-old girl living with a rare form of cancer is having a fundraiser this Wednesday.

Since Ella discovered she had adrenocortical carcinoma, she's been through multiple chemotherapy treatments; she even moved to Memphis, Tenn. to be near St. Jude's Hospital.

After doctors said Ella may have a year to live, she decided to come home to Colorado to live out her life.

There will be a fundraiser at Russo's in Glenwood Springs this Wednesday starting at 6 p.m.

The family is asking each person to pay $15 for unlimited pizza and fountain drinks.

All of the proceeds will go toward finishing the basement where Ella and her family live.
