This one's for Stevie.

Laura's cousin Stevie who just turned three was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia six months ago. You know Laura, the person that works at the store that is always so perky and willing to help. Well, she needs our help and it amazes me that this woman going to run a marathon in honor of Stevie. She is not only helping Stevie, but all the people that have been diagnosed with this terrible disease.

I can not imagine one of my children diagnosed with anything. I hate to see anyone endure so much pain, but when it hits so close to home, I feel the need to help the best I can.

Please support us, Laura, Stevie, his family and all the families that have suffered because this terrible disease.

This one is for Stevie!

Come crop with us on Saturday, September 15, from 10AM till midnight for a very special little boy! Cost is $40.00, will have snacks, drinks, lunch and dinner.

Let me tell you about Stevie. Stevie just turned three years old this week. In February, he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. Since then, he has spent weeks on end in the hospital undergoing the first rounds of Chemotherapy, the following months commuting back and forth to the hospital for his weekly treatments, where he greets whatever roommate he may be given with a big hug and a, "Hi Buddy!" He has the biggest blue eyes and loves to sing and play with his four year old brother Kane and his big sisters Megan, Sarah and Tristan. Stevie is beautiful, active, and he is strong! He has had to endure more than any three year old should have to endure in this fight for his life.

Because of him, Stevie's cousin Laura Fiore has committed to run the Nike Marathon in San Francisco on October 21, 2007. She has signed up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training...an amazing group of people who have been raising funds for research and families with Leukemia since 1998. Her monetary goal is to raise $2,400 and the proceeds of this crop will go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, so your cropping $$ are tax deductible this time!

Please go to Laura's blog if you would like to donate there as well.
