Fresh on the heels of the loss of baby Layla Grace, another one of our own needs our love, support, online tweets, and blog posts to aide in the recovery efforts of a child.
Today is Blitz Friday. Please head over and check out beautiful Penny, under a year old, battling cancer.
Under a YEAR old.
I know its hard to see a child that is battling cancer. But dont let that stop you from checking it out. I cant fathom it for the family. But this doesn’t have to be a sad story.
It can be a triumph.
