Hope, Faith, Strength and Love for Our Little Monkey

Our daughter, Sierra, was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilms' Tumor when she was 3 years old. The shock of this event left us feeling so incredibly helpless – our sweet baby child. As you can imagine, this whole experience has been a whirl wind for our entire family. During a time like this, everything else becomes irrelevant and a new perspective on life is rather forced upon you. Rightly we all prioritized our efforts on her and getting her better.

Sierra is now at a point where she is done with treatments and has been declared “clear of cancer.” However, we are now monitoring her and the effects of the chemo with yearly scans, making the anxiety continue. We are so thankful for her health but never take it for granted….

Our journey continues, however with… Hope, Faith, Strength and Love for Our Little Monkey….

As an outlet to our experience, we become active in the Valerie Fund, which is a fantastic charity that supports the health care services for children with cancer and blood disorders, and our little girl has taken on an Ambassador role for the Fund, which leverages her very BIG personality and ability to make others smile!!! We have witnessed her strength through all this and have found additional strength for ourselves, as a result!

Over the last 14 years, our friends and family have helped Team Sierra's Monkey Runners raised over $100,000 for the Valerie Fund!!!

Each day we are touched and grateful for all those who helped us through this time…. The support system we have around us was what held us up! To all of our friends, family and supporters, we love you and we are thankful for you!!!

Thank you so much for your love and support,
~Carrie and Jamie
Alexa, Tayler and Sierra Monkey!!!
