Tristen Belding

Never is cancer more heinous than when it comes after a child. My lovely sister, Rachel, told me about her husband's cousin's son. Shortly after being born, Tristen was diagnosed with Luekemia. Instead of getting to do all that new baby fun stuff, they're at the hospital helping Tristen fight. They change his diapers as soon as he urinates, because the pee is toxic due to the chemo. Any sores or rashes could lead to infection due his lowered immune system from the chemo, and he's just too tiny for a catheter. It's an awful, vicious cycle.

We're in that time of year where we like to think about the good things, about family, about giving. So, I ask you to give a little bit here, if you're able. Help them fight.
