A Lion in the House

I just wanted to let you all know there is a two part series coming on this
Wednesday and Thursday it airs on PBS. It’s called “A Lion in The House”, I
encourage everyone to watch it, and also pass it on and encourage other
people to watch. I have already heard from some people who have seen it and
it is something everyone should see.

If you “think” you could possibly know (or even have a glimpse of) what a family goes through, or more important what a child goes through battling this disease here is an
opportunity just for two nights to walk in their/our shoes. Don’t worry it’s only for
two nights, not the 2 1/2 years or more that these families (and far to many
others) have had to endure. Calen had treatments for 3 years and 3 months.

In this great country we live in, ONE in every 330 American children
develop cancer before the age of 20, (it could be your child), and when
Childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of American children – more than
asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, AIDS and muscular dystrophy combined!

We need awareness that children do get cancer so there can be more
reasearch. Reasearch to find cures to save the lives of our precious
children.

Calen has been blessed by God. It has been 5 years and 8 months since his diagnosis and 2 years and 6 months since he finished treatment. So far he has beat the odds,
but there are no promises. There are far too many children who do not have “good outcomes” and even some of the children who do have good outcomes initially do not beat the odds.

One review:

‘One of the most cleansing, emotional, honest,
unsparing, devastating, cathartic experiences I’ve
ever had in a theater, A Lion in the House simply must
be seen. Following five cancer-infected children and
their parents over the course of many years as they
deal with the ups and downs, tragedies and hopes, wins
and losses, this momentous work of human empathy
demands to be seen. You will simply not be the same
person coming out as you were going in.’

Please watch “A Lion in The House”. It will be a memorable event.
