Today's Mission Moment is a little different. Our hearts are heavy at our local Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Chapter as one of our adorable honored teammates is in the biggest fight of her life.
Rorie Joslin was diagnosed at the age of 3 with Hypodiploidy ALL, a very rare leukemia. She is now four years old and has endured the harshest of treatments. Today, Rorie's body is slowly shutting down. We would like to ask everyone to keep this beautiful little girl and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Her family is updating on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RorieJoslin
Children should never have to endure cancer. Their mommies and daddies and siblings should never have to endure this awful pain. To all our TNT warriors, please continue to swim, bike and run to end blood cancer.
To Rorie, we love you and will keep fighting for you.
UPDATE: From Rorie's parents on Sunday, August 3, 2014...
"It is with the heaviest heart that we need to inform everyone that our sweet princess Rorie earned her angel wings today, 8-3-14 at 4:40 a.m.
She beat this horrible disease and is in a much better place, no longer in any sort of pain.
Rorie taught both of us so many valuable life lessons and made such a huge impact on so many lives while we were lucky enough to have her for the best 5 years we could have asked for.
We hurt so bad inside but we know soon we will be with you again. Go run free our little butterfly. Not a second will go by that you are not running across our mind constantly.
We are so proud to call her our daughter.
Team Rorie always and forever."
