I grew up with a girl named Lacey Hatch. About 2 months ago she found out that her 4 year old daughter has Leukaemia. It has absolutely turned their world upside down. Lacey was 37 weeks pregnant when they found out. The cord blood is the best chance to save Taylie. In the mean time they did a bone marrow transplant with the 2 year old sister and it was not a match. It has been a long road for the family. They are separated because Lacey has to live in the hospital with Taylie and the dad is at home with the 2 year old. I imagine that the baby is with Lacey.
Yesterday Esteban, Gabi and I (and Kylie) ran a 5k for Taylie up in Wellsville. It was a great experience. They had so much support. We had a great time. Our family is pretty sick right now and it was so cold up there. It was definitely not my easiest run. My lungs were on fire. We came in at 29:19 which is faster than I expected considering Kylie was crying when the gun went off and I carried her in my arms for a while. For about 5 minutes we were in last place. The best part about being in last place is that all you do the whole race is pass people.
I can't imagine if something like this happened to my family. It truly makes me grateful for what I have. You can check it out on her website. www.tayliebug.com

what a nice thing to participate in. I hope all goes well for her sweet little girl!!!
We had a friend in Texas who's little girl had leukimia and she survived! We did a light the night walk with them to support it and it was a great experience. Kids are super resiliant. I hope for the best!
P.S. did you ever find out about the wise guy thing for me?
What a hard thing to go through. I am glad that they are getting the support they need. You will have to keep us updated on her little girl. Way to go on the run!
