R.I.P. Penelope Jane London

One week ago today, 4 year old Penelope Jane London lost her battle with N-Myc Amplified Stage IV Neuroblastoma. Penelope fought so courageously, her family called on politicians and pharmaceutical companies to fight for ill children like Penelope, and helped fund research to create new, more efficient treatements for children with Neuroblastoma.

Penelope underwent 3 years of treaments, including the expirimental treatments. Doctors and her family did everything they could to perserve and prolong Penelope's life. After many months of progressive disease, she left her pain behind and went home to be with Jesus. Please pray for her mother and father, John and Catherine, and Penelope's brother and sister, Oliver and Isabelle.

Please join me in lighting a candle in memory of sweet Penelope, to let her family know they are in our thoughts and prayers.

Project Encourage...

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting the Project Encourage Blogspot!

Project Encourage is a soon-to-be non-profit organization that was started in January of 2007. Our goal is to bring joy and encouragement to children who are critically ill, in the form of "snail mail". Monthly, packages are sent out to the kids p.o. boxes, homes, or hospitals, containing coloring books, hats, toys, board games, and all kinds of items that bring happiness to children, no matter how limited their mobility.

Project Encourage sends packages to ill children between the ages of 6 months and 17 years old, regardless of their illness, prognosis, or status (in remission, fighting...) If you would like to add a loved on to our list please leave a comment here, or email us at: forchildrenandfamilies@yahoo.com Also, visit us on Myspace at: www.myspace.com/forchildrenandfamilies
