light the night...

This year we are participating in the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk. We are walking in honor of our survivor Camryn and her donor Wyatt...and for all the other children and adults battling a disease that takes far too many lives. In fact our lives this past year was doubly impacted by leukemia when my Aunt Frankie passed away after a nine month battle with the disease.

We are excited to participate and walk in the evening while carrying our red balloons in support and Camryn carrying her white balloon as a survivor and this year we will carry a gold balloon in honor of my Aunt. Yes, we believe that a cure can be found...and that with more testing drugs can be found to aid in the fight.

If you'd like to support our team here's our link:

And if you'd like to "watch" Camryn's journey click below. It's a bit long, but trying to capture an almost 5 year journey was quite a task...



Thank you friends in blog world and in real life for your constant support for our Dynamic Duo...we are beyond blessed.

We walk...
For HOPE!

I haven't commented lately - keep getting error messages, but it doesnt mean that I don't still come to check in on you. Your video was GREAT. Really brought home the amount of time Camryn has gone through this battle and how she still managed to smile through the rough times too. You are an amazing family!!
