Charly's Angels

In August, my 6-year old sister, Charlotte, was diagnosed with pre-b cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. My great-Aunt Barb contacted me and proposed that our extended family join in the the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) annual fundraising walk, Light the Night, this year.

There could not be a better fit for our family. My grandpa Doug passed away April 2011 after an 18-month battle with Myeloma, a blood cancer just like leukemia. His mother, my great-grandmother, was also diagnosed with myeloma when I was very little. Our family and friends will be walking tomorrow night under the team name "Charly's Angels" in honor of Charlotte. I know she will be a survivor.
