Day 50 of...98 Days...Walking in the Shoes

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to walk in someone else's shoes?  Who would you pick? A known leader, a born genius, a scientist, movie star, an athlete, a billionaire, a politician, a neighbor, a teacher... In one snapshot of time you would get a glimpse into a day in their life. 

Well what if that one moment in time you were walking in the shoes of a parent with the most loving child. In that moment you were in the hospital watching over the bed of this child who you absolutely cherished and could not love enough.  And you were sitting witnessing them cry in their sleep from nightmares because they were both frightened and in pain.  They were on a ventilator with tubes going every which way and the world at that moment looked surreal.  Everyone was talking about the importance of platelets where they were none existent in her body. You looked around and thought to yourself this couldn't be real.  You just wanted to grab that child and run but you couldn't because you knew this was the only place she could possibly survive if she/he was going to.  You felt helpless and just spent the day just watching and praying the nightmare would come to an end.  This was the day in the life of Tressa parents and families watching over our honoree who had Leukemia and was taken from this devastating disease.

I just know through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fund-raising campaigns like this one with everyone's help we could come together to fund research and find a cure.  Let's not let another parent or family member walk in the shoes of watching a loved one affected with blood cancer.

Won't you take part in this fight and donate where every single dollar can make a difference...
