Miles for Grandpa, Miles for Layla

Since I've started this journey and this blog, a lot of my supporters have been sharing their own personal cancer stories with me. Yesterday afternoon, a friend shared with me a link to a blog about a little girl dealing with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, and I just had to share this with you. Her name is Layla Grace Marsh and she is a beautiful little 2 and a half year old. She and her family are currently dealing with the final stages of her cancer, struggling to give her a peaceful end.

The blog is here: http://laylagrace.org/

Her parents are blogging about their experience as a way of educating readers, garnering support, and having an outlet for their stress and emotion. The entries detail their heart wrenching story, and I will warn you now that it is not easy to read. They very sad truth is that they will likely lose Layla any day now. And as her father points out, with an exruciating pain that darts out at you through the computer, the process is not like the movies.

I know it isn't much, but as a way of showing my support, I dedicated yesterday's miles to both Grandpa and Layla, praying for them both the whole way. If you have some room tonight in your prayers, please say an extra one for them.

With love,
Rachel
