Team Clinton



For the past several months we watched as my sister's neighbor - and now our good friend - shared updates on Facebook about a family friend's son and his battle with cancer (Medulloblastoma to be exact). She shared stories with us about him and his family and I think we all quietly found ourselves checking facebook daily, waiting for posts, and wishing and praying that all would turn out okay for the little man.  On January 19th, Clinton Milliken lost his battle to cancer at just 7 years old.  In order to spread awareness, my sisters and I have decided to get heavily involved in making everyone aware of children, cancer, and the scary statistic of 46/7. Today, 46 kids will be diagnosed with cancer, and today 7 kids will die. In order to spread this message we joined Team Clinton for Maryland's Warrior Dash on May 19th - volunteers and participants welcome if anyone would like to get involved, and Lindsey and I are proud to announce our involvement in Maryland's chapter of Clinton's Club. If you don't live in the area and can't be physically involved, you can donate to one of our St. Jude's pages for Warrior Dash, or help spread about 46/7 because not enough people can be aware!
