Day 30…….
Every year since on the last day of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, since Christian passed I post this pic.
This is what childhood cancer looks like. This is the harsh reality. This picture takes me right back to that night. I can feel every emotion. Every tear. Every prayer said. I was alone with Christian at John’s Hopkins in Baltimore. He had received a new treatment called Car T cell therapy that was supposed to be our miracle in saving his life. Instead he had horrible side effects at that landed him in ICU and ultimately after he recovered he relapsed again and we lost him just a few short months later. Christian was the bravest person I knew. He was my world and I will continue to live for him and carry out his wishes of finding a cure for this horrible disease. If you feel led by his story and would like to donate to our foundation we created in his memory 100 % of proceeds goes to Dr. Mulligans lab at St Jude’s researching high risk Childhood Leukemia like Christian’s. Please donate to The Christian Houghtaling Foundation via our Venmo link : . Thank you ❤️
