Party for Children with Cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Center

Cyclists from Cheniere's "Making Cancer History Race Across America" team celebrated Christmas in July with pediatric cancer patients from the Children's Cancer Hospital. Former RAAM team member Kirk Gentle and the cycling team's pedal partner and neurofibromatosis patient Emily Parker were at the celebration to encourage the young patients.

Race Across America is one of the most challenging endurance races in the world, as a symbolic demonstration of how teamwork, research, persistence and ingenuity can triumph over obstacles such as neurofibromatosis. This year's effort was part of an annual campaign that coordinates multiple fundraising events in support of cancer research, treatment and education at M. D. Anderson.

My sister is nurse at MDA and works with children--she and all the nurses and doctors are working hard to treat all their patients. There is hope.

It's hard to see kids, little kids, suffering. Sometimes it brings me to tears. We need to pray for a cure for cancer!
