Awareness Month - September

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, honoring the more than 40,000 children currently being treated in the U.S. as well as the estimated 270,000 childhood cancer survivors.

====================================

 Leukemia is a cancer that begins in the blood cells, more specifically white blood cells. It belongs to a broad group of diseases, commonly termed as hematological malignancies. Leukemia is classified into different types based on the onset of the disease and the type of white blood cells informed in the malignant transformation. Acute Leukemia is a condition in which there is an abnormal growth of white blood cells in a very short time period. Approximately 6-7 new cases of acute leukemia are diagnosed per 100,000 people in a year. Chronic leukemia is the abnormal growth of cancer cells, over a prolonged period of time. The most commonly observed forms of leukemia include chronic myeloid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Leukemia is generally considered as incurable. The truth however is that in some instances, a complete cure may be achieved (bone marrow) transplantation).

 

Below is a video of children who have been diagnosed with ALL - my eyes filled with tears and

my heart broke as I watched the children with smiles on their faces and for what? I am an old softy, tenderhearted and praying for miracles to happen for all the children for the pain they are going through. Oh the suffering they all endure - precious, just precious! 

 

I cry for their pain,

I cry for what they endure

I cry while their familes

Search for a cure.

We donate to science

For miracles and such

We pray to our God

For a comforting touch.

God Bless The Children...

This is the purpose of why we donate and buy things just for this cause and many other causes that strips our loved ones of their health and well being. Part of the money made from the bracelets below will go to benefit Reagan and her needs.

 

 

 

Thank you for your support.

 Wearing Orange For Reagan

We all wear them for Reagan
We all wear them with pride
If she sees us wearing one
Her smile is beautified!
 
The color orange means a lot
As we wear them on our wrist
Indications of support
Is on top of our checklist
