Audrey's
Purple
Dream
is dedicated to the memory of Audrey Faye Pidde, a life long
resident of Akeley, Minnesota.
After a heroic battle against cancer Audrey passed away on
March 24th
2005.
One of Audrey’s last wishes was to go to Alaska.
Audrey had many friends and many family members who helped
make the original Purple Dream happen in February of 2005,
on the 11th
Crow Wing Lake. The event raised almost $10,000 to send
Audrey to Alaska. Unfortunately the cancer didn’t give
Audrey enough time to realize her dream, but the money
raised did make a huge impact on the last few weeks of
Audrey’s life. It enabled her to pay medical bills and
other expenses, giving her some peace of mind, and most of
all it let her know how much people care. Now the
Annual Purple Dream will raise funds to help other local
cancer victims and their families.
