somber

Many of you contributed to the fund raising my husband and I did this year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We ran a half-marathon with that group and raised the money in honor of my cousin, Darcy Skinner. He was fighting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Darcy died yesterday.

If you have any extra prayers, please offer them up for the comfort of my Aunt Norma, Darcy’s beloved companion, Theresa, and his teenage daughter, Lauren.

Thank you.

  2. My condolences to you and your family.

    I did a Team in Training event in honor of a family friend and he too passed away soon after I finished the race. It just shows how crucial these fundraising events really are.

  35. I’m so sorry for your loss, Laurie. It won’t bring your cousin back but, as someone who lost her dad way too young to cancer, I just made another donation.

  38. My mother is has been battling Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for the past 9 years. She is currently trying a bone marrow transplant. Hopefully this will give her more time in remission even though it’s hard on the finances.
    I will definately keep your cousin and his family in my prayers. I know first hand how hard it can be for the family.

    I have a friend who was just diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma so this really scares me.
