not sure if i ever shared this video. with tears streaming down my face, i viewed it again today, after visiting the mikulak's blog, which i check regularly. i think about max and his family each and every day, as they have touched my life in a way that is beyond words! thank you max and the entire mikulak family for making my life fuller, making me a better person and teaching me how very important it is to live and cherish each and every day to the fullest!!

in sharing this, i encourage you and challenge you to give in any way you can this year and every year. it will touch you in ways that are truly indescribable. if you'd like to help in pediatric cancer fundraising and advocacy, max's ring of fire charity foundation can be found here.

this video is 18 minutes long and amazing. max was such an incredible little boy, whose life was so sadly stolen by neuroblastoma at the age of seven.
