On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

HopeWalk

HopeKids is a great organization that plans fun FREE events for children with life threatening illnesses and their families. It gives these kids a chance to experience things they may not otherwise be able to.

Through HopeKids, Lily was able to go to a Suns game and meet the team.  She also went to the ballet to see Sleeping Beauty. We would love to attend more events in the future with HopeKids, and need your support!

Our family will be walking in the HopeWalk, a 5K to raise money for HopeKids.

Hopefully we can get a big group to walk with us. This will be fun!

I want to participate! Can we run in the event, too? Can I cross-post on my blogs? :)

Of course! Thanks Allison. As far as I know, it's just a walk... Not that you couldn't run if you wanted to :)
