Ashley Adams and her husband Andy have had their arms full for the last five months since Adams delivered quadruplets at a hospital in Colorado. Adams, a 2006 graduate of San Benito High School, known then as Ashley Knutson, carried the identical twins Braelynn and Samantha along with fraternal twins Rylie and Wyatt to 30 weeks.

When she was first admitted to the hospital around 21 weeks for closer monitoring of the pregnancy, Adams, 24, was surprised when doctors discovered she had thyroid cancer. She underwent surgery to remove her lymph nodes and a tumor on her thyroid shortly after the babies were born, but she will also undergo radiation in February.
“I’m just going to try to get all of that over and done with now so we can just move on with our lives,” Adams said.
Family members and friends of Ashley Adams are hosting a bake sale and raffle Feb. 8 and 9, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Target parking lot, 1790 Airline Hwy. Proceeds will help the couple purchase supplies for the babies, including a special formula, diapers and other items. Donations can also be made at www.navyfederal.org or by calling 888-842-6328 to account No. 3034469290
