Light the Night Walk.

In March of 2013 I attended the funeral of Madison Summer Lynn. She was only 3.5 years old. She is the granddaughter of a dear co-worker of mine.

I was touched by the minister take on the verse that said Jesus wept at the death of Lazarus. The minister made reference to the fact the God had never wanted us to die and that is why Jesus wept.

Death seem senseless when there is a child involved. How do you except losing someone who just began life? The only comfort for the family is that this precious child is home with the Lord.

Jesus wept for Madison. Yet her life still touches anyone who hears her story. She passed away from T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia within three days of being diagnosed. She lived her life to the fullest and touched the hearts of many.

This coming Thursday, August 22, 2013 at the Forest Hill Chick-fil-A, you can help raise funds for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society for Madison’s Miracle Mission by visiting there between 4pm to 9pm. You just need to say “Madison’s Miracle Mission” so that 20% of the ticket price can be donated.

There is another way you can help and that is join the walk in the link listed below:

This is an annual walk and fund raising event. Walkers carry illuminated balloons to show their support. I plan on being there, camera in one hand and a balloon in the other. Will I see you there?
