Open up your heart

Randy:
I come home smiling because Jake's appointment went well, and then I get on Facebook...one of the first things I get on here and read is of another child that has been treated in the same rooms as Jake at Egleston being told the unthinkable... "There is nothing more we can do" Silas is 4 years old...

This happens to real people...every single day....WE CAN HELP STOP THIS!!! Please do what you can to contribute....between 2 bowling balls and 4 leagues we have raised $3,500 for research....all together we as a team have raised $6,100 since November. I can't thank everyone enough for all of the support so far....

We're not done though... I type this with tears running down my cheeks for Silas' parents, and his family. He is Jake's age....and they have given him no more than 6 months. Imagine that for one second...just try to....imagine hearing those words. I can....it makes my heart literally hurt...it makes my throat swell....it makes my eyes burn. There are young children being taken...7 per day...every day. Today 46 families will be told the 4 words that destroyed our world, "Your baby has cancer". Let's stop giving cancer the last word. Let's work together and stop this from happening. Give $1...$5...something. No amount is too small. Give your time...your hair...your heart.

This Saturday I am dying my hair yellow and having it cut into a mohawk. Am I doing this for attention...you bet. I want people to ask me why I look like an idiot....I want to tell them about Silas....Jessie Rees....Anna Basso...Ashley Davis...Aiden...Matt Hobby...and the 2,800 children that will lose their fight this year.
