Johnny (4 years old) has caught his six-year-old sister’s enthusiasm for the Small Hands Creating Hope book, and it is a joy to watch them plan and make projects from the book together. They both enjoyed making this counting book today (2-year-old Lily as napping), and – while for now I am happy for them to focus on the projects – I am also looking forward to the day when they read the stories. Cancer is a piece of their legacy, and I want them to face it with hope, not fear.
Thank you so much to those who have donated to this project – and if you haven’t donated, please consider doing so. If every person who visited this website in the past month donated as little as ten cents, we would raise over $3000!

I love those drawings. We’ve just printed out this book – your post is a good reminder that we have to actually do something with it.

Thanks so much for doing this project! I’ve been following your blog for well over a year or longer! I love reading about your kids’ activities. Last August my then 2.5 year old daughter (now 3.5) was diagnosed with ALL leukemia. Though I wish you hadn’t had cancer as a child, your story has definitely been an inspiration to me. Leukemia treatment is long and tough, but Jenna is doing excellent. She hasn’t had any signs of cancer since two days after starting chemo. She will continue treatment until Feb 2014. We feel blessed that her chance of long term survival is excellent. Thanks again for sharing your story! We look forward to seeing the activities in the Small Hands book and hearing more about your story!
