I just wanted to add a quick link, for anyone who is interested in supporting this cause. I have been following the story of a little boy in California who the Lord has placed on my heart. He has been successfully battling Leukemia. His aunt is participating in a triatholon sponsored by the LLS in California. You can go here to support her.
Having gone through my experience with my dad having Lymphoma, I feel like this is a cause that is very close to my heart. I honestly cannot imagine repeating that experience with my child, or any child. There are ground-breaking treatments available for this particular cancer, moreso it seems than for many others. My father just missed the chance to use another new drug that may have increased his chance of recovery. As it was, he was able to receive a newer drug that helped aid the shrinking of his tumors at an incredible rate, which while it did not save him it allowed for much more comfort. Many times it is only by private donations that these treatments become available.
The funny thing is that T found this family/child through blogging, introduced me to them through cyberspace and now I'm just extending the blogline...

Hey Terry,
Thanks - I just went over to see that. I'll have to see if I can put it up on my page. I may know how to type, but I'm not the best at the image stuff!!
Thanks, again, for your encouragement. Do you have a blog?? It has been fun, and while I know people read it it's always fun to actually get comments!
