What Cancer Can't do

Cancer is limited
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot erode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot CONQUER THE SPIRIT!


THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
-The Churak Family

What a turn out on Sunday---We had close to 500 people attend the fundraiser. We can not tell you how much this touched our hearts. The words Thank You do not seem like enough to express our appreciation.

You know who you are, but I'll say it anyway Margaret, Cindy, Susan, Jean, Jennifer, Carrie, Amy & Tom, Vicky & Ken, Nancy and countless others. You did a GREAT job. If you guys did medical research the way you organize a fundraiser I know I would sleep easy every night.

Thank you for bringing a community together to give a 5 year old girl a day she will never forget. Caitlyn had such a good time! Since diagnosis (4 months ago), Caitlyn has received more love and compassion from everyone -- than some people see in a lifetime. This has helped Caitlyn's attitude and made her feel so special.

I read about other children battling this disease and their stories changed my life. The day Caitlyn was born she touched the hearts of her family; and I am so thankful that she has been able to touch other people's hearts as well. People tell me everyday how her story has changed their life. They appreciate family more, they try not to take things for granted, and the time they spend with their children is a little more precious. I know everything happens for a reason; and if what has happened to Caitlyn makes people appreciate life more then that is one positive outcome.

Caitlyn is still doing well, but we can never forget that the road can change at anytime for us. We still pray everyday for Caitlyn and continued good health. We pray for a cure so that Caitlyn and all the other BSG kids are able to grow old and live life without the fear of cancer.

We will post some pictures soon.
