For the past two years I’ve watched my neighbors, Bill and Linda, fight the good fight against childhood cancer. At age 13 months, their little granddaughter, Ava Brae, was diagnosed with medulloblastoma (a large brain tumor). My Basin Electric team, “Hair’s Looking at You, Kid,” is honoring Ava this year. You can read Ava’s story on the St. Baldrick’s site. Over the past two years, I’ve watched Ava’s family rally around her and attended events to support them, so I appreciate the fact that dealing with childhood cancer requires the commitment of not just the family, but a network of caring people who pray, donate, and offer encourgement. Many evenings I’ve watched my neighbor, Bill, come home to an empty house because his wife, “Nana” Linda, is in Houston, Texas helping Ava’s parents and siblings with … everything. Because that’s what it takes to beat childhood cancer: it takes everything a family, friends and community can give to save lives and find a cure. Don Franklund said it best on one of Tracie Bettenhausen’s videos: “Consider the donation that you make today as saving the life of one of your grandkids.” Won’t you consider giving today?
Looks like Ava’s story isn’t posted quite yet. As soon as it is on St. Baldrick’s site, we’ll let you know right here on The Flip Side!
