Please post the announcement on your websites / facebook / email / everywhere!
A piece of Brianna's artwork is included in a set of Christmas cards through The Cure Starts Now. Last year she made a painting for Matt. The scene is a blue background with a snowman and Christmas tree. Other children also contributed artwork for this cause...please consider ordering your holiday cards through this organization and help fight pediatric brain cancer at the same time! Contact information is listed below and you will find an order form on the site.
Twelve wonderful kids helped us to create an amazing assortment for the Cure Starts Now holiday cards this year . All of these brave kids have battled, or are currently battling brain cancer. Help us honor them, and all children fighting brain cancer, by purchasing these holiday cards. Each pack includes 15 cards (5x7 size) with one of each of the designs. The inside includes a message "May the spirit of the holidays bring you hope and happiness." Envelopes lined with silver foil are included. Proceeds go directly towards The Cure Starts Now which helps families battling brain cancer and funds pediatric brain cancer research. Know of a business who would like to use a customized version of the cards? Please have them contact us at cards@thecurestartsnow.org . Interested in selling these for us? Please email us at groupsales@thecurestartsnow.org . Help a worthy cause and spread holiday cheer! Go to www.thecurestartsnow.org and click on Holiday Cards.
Thank you so much for your support!! We are so proud of Brianna's artwork and hope you wil enjoy sharing it with others!

Needed Prayers & Best Wishes - Oct. 16, 2009
From Angel Brianna's Family:
Kaitlyn has a very rough time last week as she learned that one of her good friends (Emma Novotny)had a mother who was suffering from brain cancer and was not likely to make it past the weekend. Emma's mother Sue passed away last Saturday. Emma and Kaitlyn have become very close as they each share a tragic loss. Please pray for Emma, her dad, and little brother during this difficult time.
Also, Brianna had a very dear friend, Katrina Gerber. Katrina, her sister Molly (sophomore), and their family just learned that their cousin was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer. The Gerber family are absolutely amazing and have shown so much love and support for Brianna and our family. We would like to ask for your prayers so that their cousin Jessica McNamara can remain strong and win her battle against cancer! Please feel free to follow Jessica's journey through the carepage site set up by Molly: click on the link below, or cut and paste it in your browser.

Molly Gerber is on the Neuqua Valley swimteam and competed last night in the Passionately Pink Swim Meet. She decorated her pink swim cap in memory of Brianna, Emma's mom Sue, and also in support of her cousin Jessica. Molly informed me today that Brianna and her motto inspired her to "finish strong," which she did by beating her personal bests!! AWESOME job Molly, we are so touched by the wonderful way you honored Brianna's memory.
Finally, Brianna's friends from Gregory Middle Schools cross country team will be running in the Naperville Conference meet on Tuesday, October 20th. We know Brianna will be there in spirit, cheering them on to victory, and reminding them to "finish fast, and finish strong!" If anyone who lives in the area would like to cheer them on in person, the race will be held at the DuPage River Park. If you have a Brianna's Brigade shirt and wear it to the meet, I know the team will beat their best times!! Best of luck ladies, you have a lot of people cheering you on to victory!
Best of Luck and God Bless!!
