We Relay for Cole

My son was diagnosed with Leukemia three weeks after his first birthday. While he has since recovered and is in remission. I relay to honour his stuggle and in memory of other children which have succumbed to the disease.

Our first born son, Cole, was diagnosed with this awful disease three weeks after his first birthday.
After 2 years of weekly treatments, suffering from malnutrition, numerous infections (C. Difficile, chicken pox, septic shock), and an incredible amount of chemical treatment, resulting in heart issues and developmental delays, he officially entered remission and has been cleared the last 2 years.

We relay to support research to provide a cure, so that no one else has to watch their children struggle through the treatments, attend the funerals of other families, whose children were not as successful in their struggle.
