October 23, 2006

Been a really, really long time since I last updated. Life is good. No, life is great! Life without cancer staring you in the face each day is really great. Next month, it will be a year since Brandon took his last chemo pill. Time flies when you can eat ice cream or anything else for that matter whenever the heck you like!

We’ve been busy, sports, school, sports, fundraising, sports, vacations, sports, etc….
We just finished a few BIG things and have one more to go. Our 3ed annual BBQ for Camp Friendship was held October 1, we had a really nice day and raised a little over $12,000. Then last weekend, Light The Night was held. It was an awesome evening for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society that so far has raised $420,000…..I know it will be $440 before the end of the year. Thanks to all those family, friends and neighbors that came out and walked with us.

I’m posting a link to a video that was done for a Leukemia Society video. It profiles our family as well as another cancer family we have gotten to know. It’ll take you back to those days of diagnosis and the courage Brandon had. It shows you lots of pictures, things you may have forgotten. I know when I saw it, it really took be back to a place I wasn’t sure I wanted to go to again. But, then I see how far we’ve come, it makes me proud of my family!

Take a few minutes to watch it, If your family is in this leukemia journey, I think it will give you hope, if you’re out of this journey, it will remind you of your own journey, and, if you’re a casual observer, it’ll give you some appreciation of what a kid with cancer goes through. It’s about 6 minutes long.

Thanks for checking in with us!
Cindy and family
