Langley Comes Up Big for Marshes

Rep. Jim Moran (D-8) recognized Langley community for supporting student through cancer battle.

When Langley High School volleyball player Maureen Marsh began experiencing knee pain her freshman year, doctors told her it was just growing pains. But the pain persisted, and trainers eventually found a small lump on her knee. A bone biopsy on Oct. 15, 2009 confirmed something else: a rare form of bone cancer known as osteosarcoma.
