I don't know how many of you all know this, if I have shared before or not. But, one of our really good friends here in Utah has the cutest little girl you have ever seen. Last year about this time Kayden, KaydeeBug as we all call her. Was diagnosed with Leukemia she has been fighting a long battle that we were all sure was coming to an end. She had her feeding tube out last month and has her last rounds of chemo coming this summer. However last friday Kayden was diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis (AVN) which means the tissue in her bones is going to some day very soon make it impossible for blood to get to her joints. She is 7 years old!!! Her dream since she was 3 was to be an irish dancer. This will never happen. Childhood cancer research when compared with other cancers is very underfunded. There is a bill coming up in congress which can change this. Think about it and if you want to sign a petition to say you want to fund childhood cancer research go tohttp://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/CureChildhoodCancer Thanks guys, Sorry if I bummed you out. It has been kind of a blue afternoon around here.

It's so unfair what happens to a lot of kids. But good luck to her anyway.
Oh. Kayden is such a beautiful little girl! She, her family, and the team that works with her will be in my prayers. And yes, I will definitely sign the petition.
Thanks Smee and alison,
Smee- Kayden is so dang cute, if she wasn't in pain all of time we would wee her smile a lot more.
She is just lovely.
Children's Cancer Research is really really underfunded.
Thanks again for bringing something to light for us.
She is simply beautiful.
