Hoping, Believing and Never Giving up.

Hi, I'm Sarah, the captain for Team Break the Grey. Break the Grey is a ministry that exists to share the love and hope of Jesus Christ by serving, supporting, and ecnouraging famlies facing childhood cancer and other life-altering illnesses. One of the ways we do this is through Light the Night.

Last year we walked in memory of Nick Myers, a beautiful 8-year-old who lost his battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on July 12, 2008. This year we have the privilege of walking in honor of Eli Hutchins.

When I met Eli at a Break the Grey party, I never would have guessed that he had just learned that his cancer had returned. He remained positive, upbeat, and pleasant the entire time. (He especially took great delight in showing my dad up in football trivia.)

Eli was diagnosed on September 12, 2007 with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Since learning of his first relapse in February 2008, he has fought the most courageous battle. Unfortunately, the cancer refuses to relent. It has returned in his blood and bone marrow more than once, and attempts at remission in order to prepare him for a bone marrow transplant have failed. Still, Eli refuses to give up. He is currently undergoing intense chemotherapy and trying for remission again, with the goal of a bone marrow transplant in his near future.

Please consider walking with us or making a donation to support Break the Grey's participation in the Light the Night Walk and help save lives.

Thanks so much for your support!
