Country Pride Restaurant in North Bend is collecting donations for employee Megan Bent, who was diagnosed with breast cancer about six weeks ago.

Bent, a longtime Valley resident, has worked at the restaurant for the past 15 years and is well-loved there. She has three children and is facing five months of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatments.

Donations can be made online at https://www.gofundme.com/megan-bent, or at the Country Pride restaurant.
