This past weekend we didn't have a group hike but we needed to continue keeping Annika's tolerance up for being confined so we did a little "cross-training" on the lake by my parents house. Kayaking was a great way to beat the heat.
Being in my hometown we also caught up with lots of family friends and we are continually amazed at the impact cancer has on all communities and how cancer does not discriminate against where you live or how old you are. A family friend from our church just learned that her older brother has leukemia - we will be hiking specifically for him this Saturday on a 10 mile hike at Snoqualmie Point.
Another family from my home church has a five year old daughter that is fighting a fierce battle against cancer. In a matter of 2 weeks they found out their daughter had bone cancer in her leg which spread to her lungs, they relocated their family to the Seattle area to be right next to Children's Hospital and she has started chemo. Mike helped my parents move a few of their bigger items up to a town home. Two months later she continues with her chemo treatments and family continues to live temporarily relocated in the Seattle area. A photographer came to their home and has posted an amazing photo tribute to their family. Here is the link http://amandamayphoto.com/Emma/
We are reminded all cancer cures start with cancer research.
