Our school has done some fundraising to help pay for her medicine and any other expenses. Her strength and determination has taught me many things, but making a difference was the biggest. I've spoken to a few people about putting together some sort of website or group, especially directed towards young people fighting all types of Cancer. Anyways, I'm not quite sure where to start, but I know many groups around my area have started small; and have now been able to have events, raise money for hospitals, etc. I believe with ideas, support, friends, strangers, etc it could happen. Your ideas, suggestions and thoughts would be appreciated.Thank youAshley Ashley11 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT  On 12/29/2006 Ashley11 wrote:A former graduate of my high school last year had recently found out she has Leukemia.
