As you may or may not know, cancer is not the only thing that is close to my heart. My oldest daughter was severely burned when she was a baby and we spent years in and out of the hospital with her burn care. As I researched the Cancer project, I found that there are a lot of similar projects already out there, and not a lot of funding available. As I sat there researching grants and such, a friend of mine mentioned the fact that Cancer was not the only thing that had touched our lives. The more I though about it, the more I realized, that while Cancer had touched several people in my family, the burns I was intimately familiar with. I was the one who went through each and every one of Samantha's 40+ surgeries with her. I did all of her dressing changes and handled all of her at home burn care. I sat down and talked with Samantha about the possibility of doing a Burn Survivor project instead. She was very interested and said that she thought it would be a great project. I did some fact finding and e-mailed some of the people I know from the different hospitals we have been to and also some of the foundations that we are associated with. The general consensus is that it would be a worthwhile project not only for the burn survivors, but also for the family and friends of the survivors. So I have gotten in contact with a burn society to see what direction I should go from here. I was excited about The Face of Cancer, but I cannot pass up an opportunity to work hand-in-hand with my amazing daughter on a project of this scope. So stay tuned and I will keep you updated on how this progresses.
