Angel 34 - Lacing up for a Cure

Today my kids, grandkids, Lindsay, Mike and myself "Laced up for a Cure for Childhood Cancer." We walked for the Angel 34 Org. This organization was founded by an amazing 14 year old girl (Nicole Sheriff). Days after her 13th birthday, Nicole was diagnosed with cancer. Having witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of cancer on families, the financial burden that cancer carries with it and the hopelessness that can come with the disease, Nicole was moved with the desire to start a foundation at the age of 14. Out of compassion for every child she came across, she vowed that she could make a difference in that child's life. Unfortunately, Nicole's cancer spread quickly and at 15 she had passed.

The school my grandkids go to does a lot of fundraising for this organization and I was proud to be a part of this walk today. It was just a small task I could do to help the fight for childhood cancer. I definitely want to walk again next year we had a great time for a great cause.
