6.          I'd like to introduce you to Cameron Richards- an adorable 2 year old who is battling cancer. Cammie has been in the hospital since May and just begun a second round of chemo on Monday. When she was diagnosed with cancer, the doctors said she had a 40 % chance of being cured. That prognosis hasn't changed but she is still fighting! A card campaign has started and I'm hoping SLHS can meet the challenge! Let's put a smile on her face during these difficult days of treatment and send her some notes or handmade cards. See the poster on the door of Room 9 for more information.
