Listen to me
everything, and i mean everything about you is beautiful
what you need to do is just stay as possitive as possible
You are MY reason to smile!
I wake up to hear your stories and hear how strong you are
When your having a rough day, going through chemo or treatment.
home sick, wanna give up? I want you to put your hand over your heart
feel that beat? That's moving for a reason, and it needs to stay that way
do what makes YOU happy
be yourself, not what others want you to be
i love you

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them- are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep our head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” ~ Marilyn Monroe

Maybe not today, or tomorrow, or next week, but I can guarantee you that if you look at your life in a few months from now, you’ll be a lot better than you are today.

My story
Hi. My Name is Kayla. I'm 13 years old and my best friend is a cancer patient. 13 year old Kasey got cancer in September of 2011. Right before her birthday. The cancer started near her nose and by January 2012, it spread through her body and started to really effect her life and mine. As it spread through her body, week after week, I would walk in the cold, hospital room, and more hair would be invisible, more bruises would appear, and more of my best friend was gone.
As the weekends passed I looked in the doors of the other struggling children, half of them confused on where they are. It brought tears to my eyes and i smiled through the pain of wanting to switch lives with them so they could live longer. The second to last week of March 2012, I walked in the room where Kasey was staying and i she was smiling. In my mind, no girl could ever be in that situation and smile.. Even I was crying. I handed her a card signed by the whole grade, and a stuffed monkey and a stuffed bear. she automatically grabbed the stuffed bear and clenched on to it, like she would never let it go. We talked while the nurse was hooking and un-connecting wires to her fragile glass body as the tears continued to roll down my face..
My dad gave me the mudge telling me its time to go, so i moved ever so slowly over to the edge of her bed. i knelt down and i grabbed her hand. I prayed a quick prayer that added to the millions i have already prayed that day. I looked into her crystal clear eyes and told her to never give up. ever. I told her that through anything she has me and she will be ok. That was the last words I said to my best friend... my sister. On March 28, 3012, Kasey Lynn Cumo had said goodbye and went to heaven. Since then I have been in and out of the hosptial with my grandma with a stroke, my grandpa fell, my Aunt in a motorcycle accident and family friend in a car accident.
It got to the point where I was blaming myself, and it got to the tragic point my mom discovered when i sat her down and told her, " Mom, I want to shave my head". I was not gonna let these kids fight alone. I wanted to be right there with them.
To cancer patients and loved ones, know that your friend, sister, brother, mother, father, aunt, uncle, whoever it may be are telling you, "During the hard times and the suffering, when you only see one set of footprints, that was when I carried you." Justin Drew Bieber couldn't had said it better. Just close your eyes and pray. Love them forever and make the time last. And most of all, know that everything is gonna be alright.
I want all the kids out there that read this, or family had read this and are having troubles understanding that God is great and he is amazing, if you have any questions, if you want a smile, laugh or just want to talk, i am 100% here for you. My e- mail is [email protected] and my twitter & facebook pages are on the top of the website. I am here for you. Stay Strong, Ok? God loves you. You can do this. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE! <3 CureIt
with love,
Kayla C.
Because of everything ive gone through and my friends and family have gone through, i want to give back. Once a month im going into the children's research unit, and I'm gonna sing, play with the kids, play board games, and make the kids with life threatening diseases smile.. You know like avalanna. I wan to save lives and I want to make kids smile through my music. What better way is there. I just have always dreamed of making a difference. I want to be able to see them smile, because I know how my friend felt with cancer. I want to be able to lull them to sleep, and I want to just know how they feel. They're so young. Some of them have no clue what's going on and all of them just wanna go home. I want to distract them from that to make it stronger through their radiation, treatment, surgery etc. it's a feeling of satisfaction to myself when they're not scared for the lousy few hours a month I visit. It's gonna be hard as some points cause I'm gonna get attayched to these kids and maybe this little girl and I can get so close and next month?? She might be in heaven. But I'll cry, starve, do anything for them. So as long as they pass away with a smile on their face<3 Give Back!!!

Justin Drew Bieber... MY HERO
![Picture](/uploads/1/2/7/6/12766956/458973156.jpg)
I'm posting Justin because he saved my life. When I was 6 I was introduced to my sister. She held me and told me how much she loves me.. I haven't seen my sister since. When Justin came out with pray... It's what introduced me to god.. When I was 10 my mom died 4 times. Her heart stopped.. And she was brought back to life... Most recently within a month of each other did my 2 closest friends leave me to go to heaven... I don't get why I can't look up to someone who's saved me from going to heaven myself. When my best friend passed, my grandma had a stroke, my nana got in a car accident, and my family friends got into a motorcycle accident i listened to Be Alright and stopped crying automatically..You don't get how much he has helped me..He's become like a brother to me (even though he has no clue of my existence) ... Justin Bieber is someone I know will always be there.. even if he doesnt respond to my tweets, i know he loves me. you know? I don't cry... At all in front of people.. but i feel like im safe when i listen to his music.. Justin. Thank you for not only inspiring me but everyone else.. I love you..
Leah ♪
4 years old
Diagnosis: Leah was found to suffer from acute lymphoblastic Leukemia in February 2010.
![Picture](/uploads/1/2/7/6/12766956/623569935.jpg)
i love you, leah!<3
Leah's story:Leah, who was born with Down syndrome, stands behind a doorway and peers around it mischievously. Her blonde hair is held back by barrettes, and her smile is wide. She is playing hide-and-seek with her older brother, Luke. When he catches her looking around the doorway, Leah collapses into a fit of giggles at being ‘caught,’ then scampers away to hide once more.
This scene, with Leah and her brother laughing together, is a common one in Leah’s home, one her parents feared they’d never see when Leah was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in February 2010.
In early 2010, Leah’s mouth began to hurt. At first, her mom thought the pain was due to teething. But when Leah started to run a fever and didn’t want to walk, her parents called their pediatrician. Tests soon revealed Leah suffered from ALL, the most common form of childhood cancer. “Our world just fell apart,” said Leah’s mom. Her family was quickly referred to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where Leah began a two-and-a-half-year chemotherapy treatment protocol.
The hospital's groundbreaking development of combination therapy for children with ALL revolutionized leukemia therapy worldwide and increased the survival rate from 4 percent when St. Jude opened in 1962 to 94 percent today.
Leah’s treatment has sometimes been difficult, but that hasn’t stopped her from doing the things little girls her age love to do, like play with her baby dolls or go to the playground, or, when a rousing game of hide-and-seek is through, reach her arms up to her beloved brother so he can give her a hug.
Avalanna R. Miss. Bieber<3
Theres this little girl...her name is Avalanna. she has ATRT (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors). These are fast growing tumors that form in the cerebellum (brain stem) and effect walking, talking, eating and hearing. Also, heartbeat, nerves and breathing. No cure has been found for this type of tumor. She is only estimated to live until she is 3 years old. Avalanna’s dream was too meet Justin Bieber. The doctors estimated that she wouldn’t live to see 4 years old. Avalanna and Justin have something special. It’s not fan to popstar, it’s brother to sister. She’s met him 3 times since her life span estimation. The most recent time she met Justin, he asked her what her life’s dream was. She shyly answered
“To marry you.” Justin gave Avalanna a little ring, and he said: “Take this,” as he handed it to her. “We just got engaged! You’re gonna be Mrs. Bieber” They told her she was ‘engaged’ to Justin, and he held her and gave her kisses. Justin loves Avalanna, and she means so much too him. On his ‘All Around The World Special’ they recorded Justin talking about Avalanna and he said: “She means everything to me because she’s just so strong, and she’s uh, sorry I’m getting emotional but I just want everyone of you to just tonight say a little prayer for her.” Regardless of all of that heart warming stuff, Justin and his team got word that Avalanna’s tumors are now affecting a larger part in her brain, and she is losing her ability to speak. Please Pray for this stunning little girl. SHE WILL WIN
“you are just an angel who God needs earlier cuz u r too good for this world. he is gonna take u away from me and my touch but never from my heart… angels deserve a better place like u. avalanna.” - Justin Bieber

Taylor Love
First a visit to her pediatrician followed by a trip to an ophthalmologist led us to our eventual nightmare. On December 12, 2006 our 18 month old baby girl was hospitalized and diagnosed with stage IV, high risk neuroblastoma a deadly cancer with no known cure. She had a tumor on her left adrenal gland, a tumor behind each eye and disease in her bone marrow. We would now learn what a horrible, aggressive and relentless disease this is.
Since her diagnosis Taylor has endured countless procedures, biopsies, blood transfusions and stays in the hospital. She has undergone 7 rounds of high dose chemotherapy, a surgery to remove the tumor in her abdomen and a stem cell harvest. She has completed several rounds of a phase I clinical trial which included immunotherapy treatment and IV radiation. She had undergone radiation treatments to her head, orbits and abdomen and is currently undergoing treatment in a phase II antibody trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.
This year, another enemy lined up against Taylor. She was diagnosed with MDS - which is a form of chemo-induced leukemia. Taylor underwent a bone marrow transplant in August 2010 and is now recovering at home. The ultimate success of the transplant will not be known for many weeks.
Even as these treatments beat down her body, Taylor amazes us with her strength, courage, and contagious spirit. We continue to be inspired by our sweet little angel, with her sparkling blue eyes and cheerful smile. Watching Taylor play with her brothers and listening to her sing gives us the hope and strength we need to walk down this long uncertain road. Go on http://taylorlove.org/ for more info
