NORFOLK, Va., (WVEC) -- 13News Now meteorologist Crystal Harper has a couple upcoming projects to help raise money for cancer research.
Crystal was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma last May and has been very open about her battle. She is officially and completely cancer free!
Crystal is working with the Norfolk Tides to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The Tides donated a portion of their tickets sales on May 4 to Crystal's Woman of the Year fundraiser campaign.
Crystal had the opportunity to throw the first pitch at the May 4 Tides game against the Louisville Bats!
