Drew enjoyed watching 2 of his brothers play soccer today, with a 10-2 win and a 2-2 draw and we managed to avoid the rain. He misses playing terribly and sometimes I think it is hard for him to go and watch. On the way home we popped into the local shops and the owners of the Mini Mart and Liquor Shop, were having a fundraiser for Drew and another local boy, the same age as Drew, who also has leukaemia. Adam was diagnosed 2 years ago and has had a very torrid time, he is obviously one very determined boy, who fills your heart with hope and looked a picture of health today. It was nice to meet Adam's Mum and Dad as well, who are still smiling, despite what they've been through. Thanks to all involved for organising the afternoon, and to the local community for supporting us. Lastly in the evening a friend dropped in bearing chocolates, with her young son to catch up. Nathan had made us a special card and saved up his pocket money to give to Drew. It's days like today that fuel your spirit and help you get through the tougher days.
