    Hoping for the best my friend.  Not much, but donated some.  Cancer sucks.  Cancer in kids is heart breaking.

    2 and a half years old. Cancer found in her Eye. Looks like it is trying to spread. They have removed the eye. Now this poor little girl is looking at chemo and radiation for the next 3-6 months.

    I think the link above works now fellas and ladies. Any help before it gets buffaloed would be awesome. Not asking for much. I know everyone knows someone that could use some help. Every little bit will help this little lady.

    Not gonna lie, I sometimes take my children's health for granted. When Illa got diagnosed it truly rocked my world. I love this little girl and her chances of beating this are so slim. I'm crying right now. You guys have made my day. Thank you.

    I have been trying to raise some money for our local charity using Facebook. I auctioned a brisket and currently doing a raffle for pulled pork. Brisket brought in $150 and I am hoping for $120+ from pulled pork. 
    Just something to think about- turn the $50 or $20 you were going to donate into something greater. 
    I am sure there will be a great addition to the fund from these great BBQ people.

    Thank you all so much. I'm at work right now so won't be able to respond individually but it means so much. I have a 4 year old and it just crushes me seeing them go through this.

    I've been in my own "struggle" for the last couple years, this post brings me back to the beginning.  It's rekindled all the emotions, fear and unknowing of what was going to happen to me and my own mortality.  It's such a devestating disease.

    Please, I would love to donate to show this little girl and her parents that she is not alone in this.  Would it be possible to PM me with the address so I can send a check directly?
