This year, Stacey and I will be participating in Light the Night Walk hosted by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)to show our support to those we know who are fighting or have fought these types of cancer. Those we are supporting and honoring include:
JP Law - a six year old with NonHodgkins Lymphoma (family friend from the twins club)
We will be officailly walking on TeamJPLaw.
Jenna Jurgens - childhood friend of John's who lost her battle with Acute Myloid Leukemia at 35.
We will be walking in honor and in remembrance of them. Light the Night will occur in the Fredericksburg area on October 4th. Please consider donating to this important cause. Many of us know someone who has been affected by cancer.
