We've shared how Brayden was chosen the Champion Child for this year's Will Golf 4 Kids and Color of Hope Fundraisers, which benefit Arkansas Children's Hospital. Part of that responsibility is sharing with others Brayden's story and his journey and how much gratitude we have to ACH and all they've done. The ACH film crew interviewed all three of us as well as Dr. S, Brayden's Oncologist, during a visit to ACH for chemo. We saw the video for the first time the night of the Gala...but it was almost too hard to watch so we kept ourselves distracted so we didn't fall apart in front of a room of over a thousand people! The Foundation graciously gave us a copy of the video and, a couple of weeks later, we finally worked up the courage to watch it. We turned off all the lights and had some kleenex on stand-by! It was a neat experience to watch it. Certainly the pictures and Brayden's story bring back some hard memories and tough emotions. But it's also a celebration and testament to how far he's come. We were excited to see that the Committee has posted it on their website so now others can view it as well!! Feel free to watch it here. It should load automatically. And please support ACH...for all those kids who haven't gotten to come home yet.

Lisa, so excited that they surpassed the fundraising goal from last year! How awesome a community we live in that gives from the heart. I just watched the wonderful video of Brayden's journey with ACH and so proud of him in the interview and his courageous attitude. I know one day he will be telling his grandkids of his battle with cancer and how his faith, love, family, friends and wonderful doctors/nurses helped him become the man he is. I know God has big plans for him and has already been moving in him with Brayden's sweet caring love to others and wanting them to find a cure for all cancer patients. May God continue to bless you and your family and that one day Brayden will be completely cured of cancer.
