Help out the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

So this guy Nate, the writer of a blog that I read regularly has taken on the challenge to raise $3,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in one week. If he meets this goal he will be shaving his head live on the internet.

Nate & his family have an amazing story- his wife Trish has cystic fibrosis, they have a miracle baby (born super early but is doing great), Trish had a double lung transplant and now has a variety of lymphoma that came after the transplant, all in that order and all in the last 18 monts (except for the CF which she's had since childhood). And through their blog you see nothing but credit to the faithfulness of God and their love for each other and the importance of family. Anyway...at least check out their blog for the full story and great pictures, and check out this post for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Fundraiser!

And for a stroll through the past, remember our "his/her baldy" picture from July 2005. Now I have so many curls I'm going to share - stay tuned later this fall as 11 inches of curls will be heading off to Locks of Love (I have to get through pony-tail/braid season first!)

Sara Tyler,
You consistently inspire me to live freely, without fear. You are one of the bravest people I know--to go through cancer, losing your hair, and you've only allowed it to make you a more generous person! Walking for the L&L society.. giving away your hair.. You are inspiring. Seriously. I don't even think you give yourself enough credit. :)

I'm so thankful for you and Emrys, your love for each other, and now, your baby.

How's your summer going?
