RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Carrie Everett, Miss North Carolina 2024, is battling cancer.

Everett, a Seattle native and student at North Carolina Central University, was crowned the 86th Miss North Carolina in June 2024.

After relinquishing her title this June, Everett began to experience bloating and coughing while visiting family in Seattle. The following month, she was diagnosed with metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive gastric cancer.

Everett remains in Seattle while she undergoes chemotherapy and other treatments.

A GoFundMe has been created to assist Everett with medical costs and other expenses.
