"Help me Help Others"

On February 7th I recieved and e-mail titled "Help me help others" I was intrigued and opened the e-mail only to find one of the most couragous women I have ever met.

Danielle wrote me to tell me her story. She explained in the e-mail that she was a 32 year old stay at home mom to a wonderful son named Dylan. She told me that 8 days after Dylan was born she was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cervical cancer called Limited Small Cell Neuro Endocrine Carcinoma. This cell is typically found in lung cancer patients but hers was found in her cervix . Danielle had 12 rounds of chemo and a Hysterctomy berfore Dylan was 13 weeks old.

Dylan will be 3 in April and Danielle is CANCER FREE!! She was given our website address by a friend but had actually seen the bus on Highway 37 last year when we were on tour in Noblesville. After reading this e-mail from this amazing woman I contacted her and told her that I needed to meet her in person, if nothing else just to give her a hug. Last week on our trip to Noblesville we did meet and we shared a very tearful hug and sat and chatted for nearly 3 hours. What an inpirtational woman, someone who wants to take what they have been through and what they have learned from her experience to help others. We told her that we would help her in any way that we knew how. I am honored to know Danielle and I am a better person for knowing her.
