Prayers and Love for Cooper
Many of you may know that one of our Dragons, second grader Cooper Abbott, has bravely been battling his third occurrence of cancer this year. If all goes as planned, Cooper will begin a multi-week process of a bone marrow transplant at John Hopkins on Wednesday.
Please join us in prayer and support that this procedure brings Cooper renewed health and freedom from cancer. Our prayers and thoughts are also with Anne and Alex Abbott as they face this difficult journey with warrior strength and grace.
For those that would like to follow updates on Cooper, HERE is his Cure for Cooper Facebook page. #CooperStrong
