I

In these gray winter days, grandson Connor brightens any day.  In the church nursery, he’s known as the President of the Chubby Cheeks Club.  Who knew that reaching age 60 would bring this incredible blessing to our lives?  Because of Connor, I want to stay in shape so I can introduce him to all the things I love – swimming, biking, running, hiking.  As I raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I think of the photos I’ve seen of little ones dealing with blood cancers….and how much I want resources for research and treatment for toddlers, teens, mid-lifers, and the more mature…  I know you’d feel the same way.  As we prepare to celebrate Connor’s first birthday next month, I will thank God for his good health, his smiling eyes, his clapping, waving hands as he says “Cheers!”  Let’s work toward a giant celebration that marks the end of cancer as we know it.  Contribute now to this worthy cause.  Thanks, Jan
