Earlier this week, Olivia got invited to an iPad pizza party sponsored by the Children's Leukemia Foundation and UPS. It was a fun day and she even got dolled up for this event! It's so nice to see so many volunteers spending time with these kids, making them happy and feel special. Each one of them received a new ipad! Thank you to the CLF foundation, UPS and their supporters! We feel blessed.
On a sad note, we saw someone at the party who has a close connection to Olivia. We just found out from the family that their kid was recently diagnosed too. It brought back memories of our toughest times and it makes me feel sad hearing of another family experiencing this difficult trial. Statistics say that 1 in 300 kids will be diagnosed with leukemia. The good thing is that survival rates in this day and age has increased dramatically. We are one in this fight! To the family we met, we hope that you are finding strength, patience and courage to keep going. We will beat this.
