Baby Alison

About Me

Alison was recently diagnosed with a rare disorder known as Cushing's Syndrome. After having surgery to remove a large tumor from her adrenal gland, doctors discovered that the tumor was cancerous. After the love, support, and prayers from people all over this country, Baby Alison is well on her way to being 100% cancer free. Please continue to lift this family up in your prayers as they are still required to bring Alison in for frequent testing (to ensure the cancer has not returned).
Please lift this family up in your prayers and spread the word to every church group out there. This family has leaned on God during this entire process and will need His strength to continue to fight and stay strong for this precious child.
Jen, David, and Alison thank each of you who have sent letters and well wishes. If you would still like to send a card or letter of support, please send a note through Alison's MySpace page and we will direct you where to send the letter.
If you would like to make a donation, Jen and David are requesting that you donate to the St. Jude's Cancer Research Foundation. They have received such a wonderful outpouring of love from everyone, and, going forward, they would like all of your generous donations to go towards finding a cure! Please click the donate button below or shop at Alison's store:
100% of proceeds will be donated to St. Jude's for Adrenal Cortical Cancer Research.
If you've purchased anything from Alison's Cafe Press store, namely t-shirts or other articles of clothing, we'd love for you to snap a photo of yourself wearing the item of support. We'll be sending all photos to Jen and David so they can show Alison just how many people out there love her and are praying for her.
Send all photos to Adrienne ([email protected]). Thanks for your support!
Please watch Alison's slideshow
Jen, David, and Alison appreciate your prayers and support!
