I have got to stop sleeping so late. It makes me feel like crap. Just crap. I wake up every morning with a headache, hungry, and tired. Or I guess I should say every afternoon. Oh well, it's still a beautiful day full of new opportunities. THREE DAYS until my lemonade stand. I'm excited and nervous...but most of all, excited. I can't wait to spread the word about pediatric cancer. People need to know kids get cancer too....and the rate for childhood cancer is increasing. "Pediatric cancer" isn't just a word. It's the reality of 46 new kids and families every single day. As I sit here writing....46 children are getting diagnosed with a life threatening disease. Their parents hearts are being ripped open and suddenly they feel as if the world is closing in on them. THIS is the reality of 46 new children and families every. single. day. What is ahead of us, they ask? Chemo, radiation, surgery, weeks at the hospital, blood transfusions, and more complete....horror. And you know what? Your child is probably going to relapse. And then, they'll do it all over again. And they probably won't even survive.

This is what cancer families are facing. CANCER SUCKS.
