My War With Cancer

On April 12, 2007 (at age 18), Nicholas Raitt was diagnosed with stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma - a very rare childhood cancer, located in his right sinus area. On April 15, 2008, he was confirmed to have no evidence of disease (NED). The cancer returned in his pancreas and he began his battle once again on April 15, 2009. On December 3rd, 2009, scans confirmed again NED but relapsed on August 18, 2010 in his abdominal cavity. On June 2, 2011, Nick earned his angel wings.

Thank You

Thanks, everyone - you've made a difference again. Diego is doing much better today.

Get ready to receive an offical invitation to the Country Music Marathon on April 25th, 2009 - sign-up flyer and notification letter will be posted within the next couple of days. Time for me to get my out-0f-shape self out the door and hit the pavement. Wah!

Also, here is a picture that was taken with Lance Armstrong - hospital finally sent us a copy. I still smile when I see Lance's hand on Kelsey's shoulder as she really didn't get why this was such a big deal (she had to miss her D.A.R.E. graduation at school and that WAS a big deal).

Diego Fuentes

Please say a prayer for a little boy, age 5, named Diego Fuentes. This brave and adorable pirate is having a very difficult time with his cancer. He and his family could use some spiritual support. To read about his journey, please visit his website:
