Braelyn's Battle


Braelyn’s Battle
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Braelyn’s mother and I are members of the Emesis Writer’s Group and have known each other for years. The first time I met this sweet child I was bald and had to wear a surgical mask.  It was my first battle with Ovarian Cancer and Braelyn was a new baby to this world (she didn’t have much hair either).  Little did her mother know how that visit would affect me, it gave me hope.  I was so weak and here was this strong baby with a future of wonderful things to come.
It’s been a few years and Braelyn and I have grown hair, but now she is battling ALL.  It’s tough enough as an adult to go through cancer I can’t fathom being a child.  I would like to give hope to Braelyn and her family.  They have set up a site to help with the medical cost go check it out and if you can help please do so and let’s all give hope to Braelyn’s Battle. 
Thank you,
