This year the Leukemia Lymphoma Society is hosting the "Light the Night" walk in the Woodlands. We are not going to be able to participate in the walk this year because of the stage of treatment James is in. My sister in law Steph got me connected to another mom whose son has ALL. Colin will finish his 3 year treatment this February. Colin's sister Maggie has put a website together to help raise money for the walk. I am including her link on here because this is the way we will be able to be involved this year and I wanted to give you the opportunity to be involved too.

Thanks Steph!!!!! We'll be there!!!!!
Light the Night is taking place here Thursday. Interestingly enough, it marks exactly one year from Joshua's diagnosis. I know it is a great cause, but I'm not sure if I can handle it emontionally. I certainly hope that it goes well and raises lots of money for research.
