camp ronald mcdonald for good times


Every year i have the privilege to attend Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times. It is a camp for cancer patients and their siblings. Over the last ten years i have made many unforgettable memories, and friendships that will last a lifetime. Each year i meet new people who inspires me to live life to the fullest and to never give up. Being a cancer survivor myself i have always been thankful to be here today.

here are A LOT of pictures from this past week at camp...

sir alex knight

camp was amazing even though it was my last year!!! it was definitely hard to say goodbye to everyone. i can't wait to go back as a counselor in two years.


p.s. please keep Laci Hiatt and her family in your prayers.

I met Laci at this summer camp, not knowing she was in my stake (we were only eight) ever since then we have have been going to this magical place together. We have the bond of being survivors. She is such an amazing person. I know that she can overcome any obstacle that stands in her way.

i love you Laci. keep your head high and stay strong.

For after amuch tribulation, cometh the blessing.
