Leigh Starkey is part of the extended Ayla’s Originals family (Her dad, Dan Starkey, has been with Ayla’s for 10 years). Leigh was in a very serious car accident in May. She broke her neck in two places, including just above her spine. At the time of the accident, Leigh was between jobs, and is therefore without health insurance. She is also unable to work for the time being. Faced with mounting medical bills, Leigh could surely use our help. Purchase a raffle ticket at $5 each, or 5 for $20, to win these fabulous prizes:

• iPod Nano 4GB
• $250 spending spree at Ayla's
• Jewelry
• Gift certificates
• More items added weekly

Purchase tickets by mail: make your check out to Leigh Starkey and mail it to Ayla's Originals, 1511 Sherman Ave, Evanston, IL 60201. Call 847.328.4040 for more information. Winners need not be present to win.
