I am amazed how many people are affected. I read that 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life! I hope that Calem and his generation will not have to worry about cancer as much as we do. ~ Laurianne Koning
This blog is dedicated to the memory of Laurianne, who died from non-smokers lung cancer in October 2005. Her hope was that a cure would be found so that others would not suffer from this disease.

Birthday Balloon Release
Today we released 26 balloons for Laurianne's birthday, along with one happy birthday mylar balloon. Each balloon had a little card with our blog address on it. Three of them didn't make it past one of the big pine trees. We thought that Laurianne would have found that funny. The mylar got stuck in a neighbors tree, but the wind blew it out just as my brother was ready to climb it.
I hope that if someone finds a card, they will post a comment and let us know. Keep your eyes out for them. :)
