This year's family we are raising money for is the Muellers!!! Their daughter, Leah is 4 years old and is currently being treated for Leukemia. Anne, is momma and military veteran. Eric, is dad. Kaylee (20), is big sis. And Ian, is 2 and is little brother!!! Very loving family and needs our support!!!

Leah, has been ill off and on throughout the better part of a year and after struggling to find out what was wrong, they found out what no parent ever wants to hear... cancer. She was diagnosed with leukemia.

Due to Leah having no immune system, she was in isolation at the hospital. She received 29 days of intensive treatments that were hard on her. She was in the hospital for 16 days, then we're at the Ronald McDonald house for another two weeks. The family couldn't leave Rochester until her numbers were safe. While they were in Rochester for over a month both parents were out of work. Their son stayed at his grandparent's house the whole time they were gone.

They were able to take her home on June 2nd. It was so nice for them to be together as a family again! Leah has two years of chemo treatments ahead of her. She will have almost weekly visits to Rochester to get chemo. There are different cycles of chemo treatments. Some are less intensive. Some are going to be very intensive and will be very hard on her. She is in physical therapy to help herself learn how to walk again. She was bed ridden for 2 weeks while she was in the hospital and didn't have the energy to walk. She is a strong kid! She is so kind and caring! Add she sure loves her family and friends. It is going to be a long road, but we have confidence that she will me okay in the end..❤
