Pray for Lucy

My dear friends,

  About a year and a half ago my sister, Sara, learned about a little girl in TN who was suffering from cancer.  Her name is Lucy.  Lucy has become a very familiar name in the Coleman family household since then.  We all follow her mother's blog which shares this beautiful family's joys, hopes, and deep sorrows.  We all pray for Lucy and her family often.  Sara even did a 5k for Lucy while she was carrying her 3rd child. 
  Sadly, Lucy's short life is coming to an end.  I wanted to share the link to her mother's blog because even though their story is heart breaking, it is a beautiful story of faith, determination, and love.  I ask that you take a few minutes out of your day to learn about Lucy and her family so you can say a prayer for them during this time.  I hope that Lucy claims a small part of your heart as she has done with my family so that you can remember to love and live with with a renewed fire each day.

Running For Lucy

I have been blessed with two older sisters that support and inspire me on a daily basis.  My sister Sara has an incredibly big (and tender) heart.  She came across a family's blog a few months ago that has deeply affected her.  This blog follows a family's fight to help their daughter Lucy battle brain cancer and maintain a happy home for their other two children.  My sister has two young (and amazingly cute and sweet) kids of her own and this has made Lucy's story even more powerful for her.  Sara  and her awesome hubby have decided to run in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon in December to raise money and support for Lucy.  If you are interested in donating money through the St. Jude Memphis Marathon then click here to see my sister's site for this.  If you want to read more about Lucy and her family check out their blog.  Please keep Lucy in your hearts and prayers!

This is what my beautiful sister wrote about running for Lucy:

"I am running for all the children battling cancer and life threatening diseases. I am running for all the families in which hospital stays and sickness have become a part of their daily lives and medical terminology a part of their vocabulary. I am running for the nurses, doctors, and researchers who dedicate their lives to care and treat for these children and search endlessly for ways to defeat cancer.

I am running for Lucy. A five year old girl battling medullablastoma, and aggressive form of brain cancer. I am running and praying for God to heal Sweet Lucy."
