Matt's brother, John, is currently undergoing cancer treatments. Back
this summer, John decided that he wanted to do a 5K. Of course, Matt
said that he would do it with him. John, Dana, Matt, and a bunch of
other friends did the Color Me Rad 5K at the end of October as part of
"Johnny B's Cancer Team". The money raised goes to Special Olympics. I
think they all enjoyed it and will do it again next year.

Also, Light the Night was a few weeks ago. Light the Night is the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society walk to raise money and awareness for
blood cancers. John, Dana, Nana, BB, and our friends from church, the
Toomey's, formed a team. We walked in honor of John and in memory of
Joe's dad. The walk is held at night in downtown Raleigh. Each person
is given a balloon with a light inside. As you walk, you truly are
"lighting the night". It was a very special event and I am glad that we
were able to participate.

I totally want to do one of those color runs! And the light the night thing looks REALLY cool--what a neat idea! You guys have been busy. :)
It was good to read your blog where you are bringing awareness among people about cancer and raising funds with the help of "Light the Night is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society walk for people" who are suffering from cancer. We are with you John, Please don't lose hopes. I pray god to heal you from cancer.
