Hometown Heroes: Ken & Cheryl Hill
Volunteer service led to wedding bells for two Texas Scottish Rite Hospital volunteers. Cheryl and Ken Hill were married April 29th in Wylie.
Cheryl's son, Robert, lost his leg in an accident. The hospital treated him for seven years. Four years ago, he urged his mom to volunteer there.
Ken's daughter, Gina, was treated at the hospital for autism. In gratitude, he also decided to give back as a 13-year volunteer.
Cheryl and Ken met four years ago, and it was love at first sight. They volunteer Thursday nights by taking the art cart and the snack cart to patients’ rooms. The treats and games are good medicine for the patients, and the fun visit gives the parents a break.
The Hills are back from their honeymoon in the Bahamas, and they're back as volunteers at the hospital that brought them together.
