2 years........

ago today, precious Kristen gained her angel wings. She lost her fight to Leukemia. Leukemia seems to favor our sweet children with Down syndrome. The truth is that Leukemia doesn't care who you are, what you have gone through, where you live, how good you have been......it doesn't discriminate. But there is a higher risk for children and adults with Ds to get Leukemia. :(
You can read more about Kristen and her beautiful life here. www.sheisourangel.blogspot.com
What can we do?
