More awesome photos

Michelle Hanson was so kind to volunteer to take photos at our event.  I loved how all her photos turned out! Check out her blog to see more photos. Thank you so much Michelle for your sharing your talent! She was officially our first volunteer! She emailed me just minutes after we announced the event to offer her photography services. Our family is still overwhelmed with all the generosity we've seen this month!



This is my favorite! It captures Trisha's personality.

Trisha was diagnosed with a Grade 3 In-Operable Brain Tumor (Anaplastic Astrocytroma) in April of 2011. In October of 2011 She was diagnosed with Skin Cancer. In May 2012 She was diagnosed with a second Grade 3 In-Operable Brain Tumor (Anaplastic Astrocytroma).  Doctors recently told her that she may also now have a 3rd Brain Tumor.

Due to her recent illness, she has had 2 brain surgeries, eye surgery, skin surgery, and has done 12 weeks of daily radiation treatment. Trisha has being going through Chemo Therapy since May of 2011. Trisha has fought hard by staying positive, active, and by following a strict diet. She has paid all of her own medical bills. As you may guess, it has been quite pricey. With the Trot for Trisha event, we hope to raise enough money to help Trisha with her current & future medical bills. The money raised will also go towards another eye surgery and the expenses related to helping her maintain a healthy diet.
