Sylvia Hatchell uses blueberry patch to help raise cancer awareness
Posted Aug 2, 2009
Sylvia Hatchell is at her cabin deep in the woods halfway between Black Mountain and Lake Lure on a rainy morning, sitting on her deck that overlooks about 200 blueberry bushes. As a way of giving back to her communities in western NC and in Chapel Hill after a cancer scare nine years ago, the head coach of the North Carolina women's basketball team allows anyone to come out and pick her blueberries.
