Brittan was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002 at the age of 11. After months of intense chemotherapy and God?s many blessings, as well as the incredible support of our family and friends, Brittan won her battle against this very ugly disease. She is now a healthy 17 year old, a senior at Reagan HS and very excited about the opportunities awaiting her in the future. "There are few lives that are not touched in one way or another by this disease. Together, we can make a difference. I hope you will join us in this effort".

Linda was diagnosed with Leukemia in November 2005? "I took on 7 rounds of intense chemo which almost killed me to go through.  However, I did it with a smile on my face.  Whether it was going to be life, chemo or death, I went through it knowing that what ever happened I had no choice but to endure it.  What I could choose was to smile, laugh, and love through whatever for however long it would take.  My friends and family made that possible and have my humble gratitude for enduring all that comes with standing along side a person battling cancer.  I returned to my life only 10 months after I had been diagnosed and only 2 months after my first round of chemo. I celebrated my 2 year anniversary of the day I was diagnosed, cancer free!  I plan to celebrate them all that way!  Life is what you make of it!  So smile, laugh, love and live (as long as you can)!  I thank you and my family and friends thank you, for your contribution so that others my survive as I have."
