Hey guys! I know some of you may have heard me share this story before but really wanted to share again. Kate McRae is a beautiful 6 year old girl that is battling a very aggressive brain cancer. I have been so moved in MY life by this families story by what they are going through. Today is a VERY big day in Kates treatment. The way I understand it She is starting a 6th round of very intense chemo which will result in a stem cell transplant because the chemo is so intense it is going to pretty much kill her bone marrow. Because she is going to be so immune-compromised she is going to be in isolation in the hospital for about 6 weeks.
If you guys could could please take a moment to lift this family up in prayer. They really need it now just as much as ever. I have had the pleasure to communicate via email awhile ago with Holly when coordinating to deliver a care package to the Phoenix Childrens that our playgroup had put together. And have been following their story since day 1. Holly and Aaron are absolutely amazing people. In the middle of all that has been going on Aaron has still been working at our church (Cornerstone) and even coordinated an unbelievably HUGE toy drive at children to bless other children. ((If you go through some of Hollys old blog entries you can see how many toys they received and how much they were able to bless others at Christmas)) As a mother my heart absolutely just breaks for them. They have been through more in the last 7ish months than most people go through in a lifetime…especially sweet little Kate. There have been many small victories along the road already but we as a church (not just Cornerstone…but globally) need to keep partnering along with this family in prayer and pray for a HUGE victory…..Kates healing! If you go to their website www.prayforkate.com you can link to their blog on Caringbridge and read about their journey there or read all sorts of information on their site. In some of the most recent updates Holly has listed some specific prayer requests as treatment has begun today (vomiting, kidney function, etc). Please partner with me in praying for this unbelievable family and spread the word so we can ALL storm heavens gates on their behalf. Our Worship director Brian and his wife took some of these awesome pictures of this family. Please repost the pictures, do a twitter or facebook status update and lets really join together to intercede on their behalf. Thank you so much! I know this family really appreciates every little prayer!!
