It’s not often that I plan on using this blog for non-photographic related information sharing, but I wanted to share with you a quick story about my sweet little friend Brayden – quite possibly the cutest kid I have ever seen!

Brayden is 2 years old and was diagnosed last week with Leukemia. He’s a fighter though and is taking his chemo like a champ. Hard on him to be stuck in bed with doctors coming at him all day with needles, but harder for mom & dad to watch. They’re looking at a long road of possibly 3 years of treatment ahead – and going into that tunnel with the most amazing grace, composure and optimism.

We all lose perspective sometimes – whine about the economy, get down on personal issues, etc. – and it’s people like Drew & Jen (Brayden’s parents) who show me that there are more important things in life.

If you’re interested in following Brayden’s story – praying for him and his family, posting sweet notes of encouragement to him, etc…. please do! This is not a story of sadness and grief – it’s one of great joy as these two incredible young parents fight this battle alongside their darling son (wait till you see his faux hawk!).

Notes of encouragement posted on either of the sites below are very much appreciated by Drew & Jen – as are your thoughts and prayers!

For me, all I have to say, is GO BRAYDEN! Fight hard little man and keep smiling!
