UNTIL THEN, FIGHT'S ON...

I recently returned from a whirlwind trip to Washington, D.C. 

From the moment I stepped off the plane in D.C., there was an amazing powerful atmosphere of being among decision makers that shape our world. 

Everyone in D.C., has

 an agenda, my agenda is fighting for research dollars and awareness that childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of American children... 

Since Carson's death, January 12, 2010, these past 3 years have been extremely successful and healing to my aching heart by being part of the Creating Hope (written by my friend Nancy Goodman who's son died from the same disgusting cancer as our Carson).  

This bipartisian act was championed by the MOST amazing Congressman on The Hill, Congressman Michael McCaul!

I had the privilege of sharing Carson's story in Congressman Michael McCaul's home when he kicked off his childhood cancer caucus just 8 months after Carsonie died...
and now it is an official BILL...

I was telling hubby-Craig last weekend, that very often I think...

what the heck just happened??

We had this family with 2 strong-healthy boys and we were clipping along, doing life...

Then one day my greatest fear came true...

Our boy gets sick with life stealing-disgusting cancer, he fights valiantly for life, 

But slowly dies before our eyes while we searched the world for a cure that is yet to be discovered...

My heart tells me to fight for the next kid & we promised Carson that we would...

And, I went from being a 1st grade teacher to an absolutely possessed childhood-cancer-fighting-broken-hearted momma bear...

FIGHT'S ON...
RAISING FUNDS SO A BRILLIANT SCIENTIST CAN FIGURE OUT CURE...
SOMEDAY SOON...

UNTIL THEN...

little 'ole me, & the Great Congressman McCaul!
