CureSearch Walk

I'm behind on blogging... But better late than never! On September 26th was the CureSearch Walk. Last year we weren't able to participate because Lilly was so sick and in a hard phase of treatment. We were so excited to go this year. CureSearch is a walk to raise money that goes directly to childhood cancer research. Less than 4% of government funding goes to childhood cancer research. More needs to be done for these kiddos fighting this hard battle. It is something that is very near and dear to us and we will participate in this event for years and years to come.

Such a fun day for Lilly and Emery. Face painting was the first thing on their list of things they wanted to do. 

And then the mascots showed up and the girls got so excited! We were happy to meet the newest mascot Griff. Emery was so glad Princess Merida was there and then stayed FAR AWAY from her other furry costumed friends!

Lilly finally got to meet her friend Madeleine. She reached out to Lilly when Michalla passed away and she came all the way out here from London for the CureSearch walk. She has just relapsed again and we are praying this new treatment she is going to try will work for her. We love you Madeleine!!!!

Jay and I signed up for the Be The Match bone marrow registry. It is something that is so important to us. If Lilly ever relapsed she would have to have a bone marrow transplant. It doesn't take much to sign up. Just a swab of your cheek. I would love to be able to help save someone's life!!!

Look at all these BRAVE kids!

We will walk for you Lilly. Every year. 

I love this picture. LuAnn is a mama who lost her sweet Abi to cancer last year. She is remembering Abi by sprinkling pink glitter as she walks. We love your family!!

With being so busy with trying to sell our house, we didn't recruit a lot of people to be on our team for the walk this year. But, you just wait... Next year we are going to get a much bigger team and raise more money for childhood cancer research. Join us next September!

Lilly found a couple of her nurses that she loves! 

What a fun day!
