Checked my Facebook page yesterday and sad news all around. You may have heard of a little girl from Minnesota named Jane Fiemeyer. She had made a wish to meet the band Big Time Rush. Within a couple of days, she had been contacted by BTR and they had set up a video chat for her that was to happen yesterday afternoon. The guys from this band are amazing, they had rearranged their tour dates and were going to let Jane know during their video chat that she could expect a visit from them on Monday. Sadly, Jane passed away just a couple of hours before their video chat was to take place. Jane was only 8 years old. She had leukemia and her life ended way to soon because of this killer.
Another sad bit of news came last night as well. One of my Central Florida teammates is suffering right now. Her husband, Josh, had traveled to Tampa to the Moffitt Cancer Institute to be a bone marrow transplant donor. He was giving a little girl a chance at life. During the procedure they hit an artery and Josh is now listed in critical condition and is on life support. It's hard to understand why such an unselfish act turns out like this. Please say prayers for him and his family.
So, this is WHY!!! This is why I continue to be part of Team In Training and why I continue to ask for your support and donations. Please help The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by making a donation. Do it for Jane, for Josh and for the many other victims of cancer. Visit my website at:
