They have 4 sons, 3 of whom have type 1 diabetes.<br /><br />We connected via our blogs about 3 years ago, because we both have kids with T1D...it's blossomed into a beautiful friendship...and I'm heartbroken over the news.<br /><br />Anyway, we're praying for a miracle. This Sunday we're asking people to pray and fast on behalf of Ryan.<br /><br />You can read her story here...<br />http://www.ourdiabeticlife.com/2012/02/cancer.html<br /><br />I feel like I'm on this journey with her. Trying to find resources and places where she can connect once this initial phase of auto-pilot shuts off. Anyway, thank for your blog. <br /><br />God bless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552424816178478755.post-13691481703252381562012-02-28T11:48:18.981-05:002012-02-28T11:48:18.981-05:00Great post, Al.

Sadly, it will take an advanced melanoma diagnosis from a big name to cause any huge media attention. I don't wish melanoma on anyone, obviously, but I don't see how else the media will be motivated to promote awareness in the way that only the social media can do.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983041684417338248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552424816178478755.post-66505037441236147662012-02-28T05:30:31.547-05:002012-02-28T05:30:31.547-05:00I agree with you...on shows like Jersey Shore they...I agree with you...on shows like Jersey Shore they need to show how to be safe in the sun. The young kids out there need to 1. be aware of the dangers of the sun and 2. know that they don't need a tan to be beautiful. I lost my 25 year old son to this insidious disease 9 months ago, he was never a lay out and get tan kinda guy, and when he was young we used sunscreen, but he did lifeguard one summer and got quite burnt. I am personnally writing to our congress woman to try to get a bill introduced to include skin cancer awareness in the D.A.R.E. program and at the junior and high school level have it included in health class.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300513377723774641noreply@blogger.com
