This Thursday, I’ll be getting “a haircut for Children’s Cancer Research.” A small sacrifice, considering all the miles walked, ran, biked and swam over the years for many great causes. But this one, seems just a little bit closer to the people it’s benefiting. Sadly, every one of us has seen the devastation of cancer; to the person and all the loved ones around them.
My family had a wonderful twelve-year-old niece named Labri, and I’m very sorry to say, had. She was truly a ray of sunshine; you couldn’t help but smile when she entered the room with her own cheerful and infectious smile. But in May 2007, she and her parents learned she had a highly aggressive cancer, Brainstem Glioma, diagnosed most often in children and young adults. By October 27th, God called her home. Early on, she said to her Mom, 'Why me?' but … she came to the conclusion that God must be doing something wonderful with my life,' and Labri inspired many with her incredible courage and strength of caring for others.

Please help with a contribution to St. Baldrick’s Foundation to further Children’s Cancer Research that will bring an end to these horrible diseases.
