MY OWN NATIONAL HOLIDAY

[clover83]

THIS IS AN EASY ONE FOR ME... I'D HAVE TO CHOOSE CHILDHOOD LUKEMIA/CANCER SURVIVORS HOLIDAY AND I'D CHOOSE THE DATE TO BE JULY 12TH BC I LOST ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS TO LUKEMIA THAT DAY... SHE WAS IN REMISSION FOR ABOUT 5 YRS AND IT CAME BACK AND SPREAD SO QUICKLY, SHE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AND 2 MONTHS LATER SHE PASSED AWAY...  I SURVIVED CHILDHOOD LUKEMIA AT THE AGE OF 3 AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE A HOLIDAY THAT CELEBRATES ALL THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE SURVIVED IT AND ALSO TO REMEMBER THOSE WHO LOST THEIR FIGHT WITH CHILDHOOD LUKEMIA/CANCER... I WENT TO A CAMP HERE IN MERIDIAN TX THAT WAS FOR CHILDHOOD LUKEMIA/CANCER SURVIVORS AND ONES THAT WERE FIGHTING IT... I MADE MANY FRIENDS AND I HAVE THE BEST MEMORIES FROM THERE AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE MADE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN REMEMBERANCE TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT...

Definitely a good idea. Strong fighters like yourself are the most inspiring

thank you so much... i think it would be cool to have something like that, since they have a race for the cure for breast cancer and all, they should include something big for childhood lukemia/cancer
