Hello, family and friends.
I just wanted to let you know of something very important and touching going on this weekend. This Saturday, Jake and I will be attending an event at which Cameren will be one of the children honored. David O'Shea, Jake's camp counselor at the American Cancer Society camp for siblings in Payson, is shaving his head to honor Cameren, Jake's forever big brother. The St. Baldrick's Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and money for researching children's cancer. To bring a touch of solidarity, and perhaps a bit of levity, men and women volunteer to shave their heads at these events. A lot of other great activities are planned as well.
I am letting you know about this because a lot of you still have an ache in your heart. Beyond Cameren, I picked up the Arizona Republic this morning, and saw a picture of a young boy very sick in the hospital with a rare form of cancer. I have seen my son agonizingly worse than that, and I think whatever we can do and wherever we can, we should strive to end suffering in the world. No child should have to go through that.
If you would like to donate a small amount toward research, it is easy to do on this site, which I have provided for you. The smallest drop or trickle, together makes a beautiful reflection. If you cannot, and trust me, I understand in this economy, there is something you can do which will be in the sweet spirit of all children. Be generous with your heart and time to loved ones and perhaps a stranger in need. It's easy to harden when roads get long, but children are very resilient. Be a child that way.
Take care,
Lizzie
