Light the Night Walk - 2012

So many people have been asking us what they can do to help with Kagan.  Really, there is not much that we can say.  We really don't need anything right now.   We are so appreciative of all the care, love and support but when you ask what we just don't know what to say.

Well, I did think of something.  After seeing how wonderful the medical staff, the educators and the LLS has been to our family I signed up for our family to walk in the Light the Night fundraiser to help cure cancers just like what Kagan has.  



The event is several months away (November 10, 2012).   I know that many things will change between now and then but maybe while your thinking that you want to do something you might make a "save the date" on your calendar to walk with our family for this event.  

I myself have passed up events like this before that were dealing with my own family members, Kaleb's family members or friends because I had not been touched to see how events like this help find cures for cancer.  ( I mean I knew it was important but I did not realize why the walk was important).  Like I have said before, it was someone else that was fighting this - not me.  I wasn't being selfish I just did not understand how my commitment to being at a walk would mean anything.  Well, I understand now.

So, maybe you want to walk along side our family for this few hours on Saturday, November 10th.  The event is a 1.5 mile walk.  The event begins at 3:30pm and ends at 7:30pm. I will have more information to pass along in the coming months but thought I would let you know now.

If you don't want to walk maybe you want to make a donation to our team in honor of Kagan.  This money goes directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help them find a cure.   You can donate by visiting our team page.  http://pages.lightthenight.org/sun/Tampa12/KagansKnockOutCorner
