Saturday, October 15th I will be running in the Grand Canyon University Run to Fight Children's Cancer. Proceeds from the race will go to the Children's Cancer Network, a charity that helps support Arizona families that have children with cancer. Anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome!

Since I am just getting back into running (lack of time and extreme heat have been my biggest determent) I will only be running the 5K. Now that the weather is nicer (one less excuse!), my goal is to return to my old running self :)
The past month the mornings have been cool enough for Phillip and I to enjoy our weekly hikes in the desert. I'm looking forward to the day when Lily will be strong enough to join us again. She always was a super hiker.
Sunday, October 23rd is the Hope Walk. Lily will be there for this one, along with family and friends. Please let me know if you want to be added to Team Lily Love! We are going to have shirts made for our team so I also need shirt sizes.

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.
