She “Got This”
Lauren had her check-up today to make sure her blood work was clear. She is 14 months removed from her chemotherapy so we have blood work every two months. It never gets easier for Katrina and I as our anxiety goes through the roof. But for Lauren it’s very matter of fact. Today, for […]

Three Years Ago!
Where it all began… Three years ago we had an idea that blossomed into LIVFREE. TheSportsCenter Connecticut was generous enough to hold a fundraiser for our family to cover expenses of Lauren’s medical bills, we decided to pay it forward to another family in need. The rest is history…… “Feeling so blessed!!! At the Vieira’s fundraising […]

80th Family
Today was a HUGE day for us as we were able to provide family fun to our 80th family. A couple of weeks ago two lovely ladies threw a Gala for Gold and raised funds for LivFree. Katrina and I promised that we would use those funds for a very special family. This morning we […]

Three Years Ago
We brought Lauren in to her pediatrician because of some bruising. We weren’t overly concerned, kids get bruises. The pediatrician shared our sentiments but had us go to the lab to get some blood work anyway. As I waited with Lauren in my arms patiently, I saw the reaction from the technician. She turned ghost […]
Two Years Ago
Katrina’s letter to Lauren two years ago…. Dear Lauren, A year ago this evening your father and I laid on our respective cots in your hospital room as we watched you take transfusion after transfusion anxiously awaiting morning so we can have some answers. Seeing that our only options were a rare virus or Leukemia […]
Happy Birthday Peyton!
The world is definitely in good hands. The kids just get it when it comes to helping others. Peyton is the daughter of a Marine brother of mine, that I served with back in 05-06. He had followed our story and shared it with her. She then told him that for her birthday she wanted […]
