Did you know these angels?

Cameron Diamond and Kamryn Lambert became heaven s angels at the young age of 8. Katie Fisher was just 14 years old when she inspired us on the B&A trail and soon received her wings.

These children lived with strength, courage, determination and hope despite the fact that they lived only for a short while. Do you know angels?

Do you know survivors with hope for a cure?

Michael Coburn (8 years old) was diagnosed with leukemia before his 2nd birthday. He went through countless rounds of chemotherapy and trips to the emergency room. After years of treatment, Michael is a survivor and celebrated two years of being in remission. Today, Mason Maddox endures a daily battle to survive and defeat cancer; he is only 10 years old.

Every 5 minutes 1 person is diagnosed with a blood cancer.

Every 7 minutes 1 person dies of cancer.

Leukemia is the #1 cause of disease-related deaths among children.

To take action and honor these angels and those still battling cancer, I will run my seven marathon event in Seattle for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society�"s Team In Training, this summer. These angels are the real heroes of our team, and we need your support to cross the finish line for a cure!

Here is where you can help! I have made a commitment to raise $3,375 for my participation in this marathon. All donations are 100% tax deductible. Given these tough economic times, these cancer patients need us more now than ever! And every single penny counts! Consider making your contribution count, today.
