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.

It cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot kill Friendship
It cannot suppress Memories
It cannot silence Courage

Somewhere in New Jersey
Somewhere in New Jersey, there is a team of people who are going to be walking for Relay for Life. Now, there are Relay for Life teams everywhere, but to me, this team is a little more special. Why?
They are going to be walking in shirts with the names of people who have had cancer on it. One of the people will have Laurianne's name on her shirt. AND a donation was made in memory of Laurianne. As far as I know, my family and I have never met them, but Laurianne's story has touched them so they are walking for her.
Now how awesome is that!
**Special thanks to my blog buddy Libragirl for letting me know about this**
