“Team Pale Skin Is In” Incidence of melanoma is rising faster than any other cancer in the United States and one person dies every hour of melanoma.  When caught early, melanoma is very treatable; however, there is lack of effective treatment for the later stages of this disease.

Heading home...

Well, we checked Tina out of the hospital today and brought her back to her parents’ house for the last part of her journey. Her condition has worsened unexpectedly the last week, and after running a number of tests at the hospital, they determined there just wasn't anything they could do to help her. She was happy to be going home though, so at least she can be comfortable and surrounded by family and friends.

It is very hard to see someone so strong, such a fighter, and such an inspiration to so many people, so weak. We all still believe in miracles though, so any prayers or pleasant thoughts would be much appreciated...

The journey has ended...

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I let you know Tina's journey has ended. She went peacefully this afternoon, and was surrounded by family. Tina's story of her battle with melanoma touched many people, and was an inspiration to all - she will be missed dearly...
