CureSearch {Grand Rapids Photographer}




You've heard me talk about the DeYoung's a lot on this blog. You've also heard me talk about my hike that I was training for. We did it, it's done and I'm so thankful that it went well!

Lola DeYoung is 5 years old. She loves the color pink, bible stories and horses. On February 14, 2011 Lola was diagnosed with Leukemia. Every day, 35 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer - 7 of those will not survive. Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children. Although the cure rate is now 78%, it is not good enough. Our goal is 100%. On October 29, 2011, 8 women from Team Lola set out to the Tecumseh Trail for a 30 mile hike that is helping raise money for CureSearch, a research company helping make a difference in the lives of children with cancer.

I have a little fundraising to do yet and I thought I'd get creative and come up with a fun way to get me to my goal. Here's how it's going to work.
