Relay For Life



On Friday, Anya and I were privileged to participate in Olathe, KS's annual "Relay for Life", sponsored by the American Cancer Society. She was honored as a "Cancer Survivor" and was given a free catered dinner for herself and a guest and was asked to walk with other survivors around the first lap. She was so proud to walk it by herself with her survivor friend that she met that night (see the third picture above). It was a very special night for both of us.

How awesome is Anya, a beautiful little girl, who love God. I cant even imagine what she has gone throug. In her four years on earth she has endured more than most of the people I know. God is loving and he is definately a big part of your families life. I love you guys and will pray for you. Love Mandi

I was so glad to see an update on Anya, and to see her pictures from the Relay for Life. I walked with my Oncology team from the hospital in honor of her and my uncle Mark Ling. Anya is an amazing little trooper. God is the healer, and I pray He is with you all.
