Did you know that September was National Blood Cancer Awareness Month?  Slightly ironic considering it was September nearly three years ago that we were introduced to Leukemia with Cutler’s diagnosis.  Thanks to incredible organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society the survival rate for the most common form of Leukemia, ALL, has jumped from 3% in 1964 to 90% today.  This is one of the many reasons we raise money for the LLS via our annual Light The Night fundraising effort, including our upcoming Lemonade Stand.  That announcement is coming soon.

As a warning, I will be trying to post some good facts every couple of days throughout the month along with some stories and photos from our journey to health for Cutler.  While it would be easy to move on and try to forget those painful times, I think it is important to celebrate what he has overcome and never forget so that we know how blessed we are and to give us motivation to continue to defeat this horrible disease.
