Landon Bliven Landon was diagnosed with Very High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on 1/17/18. He is currently in remission while remaining on a 3.5 year treatment plan. Since the day Landon got diagnosed, we could have never realized how our lives would be forever changed or the impact childhood cancer would have effected us. Before Landon’s diagnosis, I was never aware of the meaning or importance behind this yellow ribbon or what September meant to fighting families. September is a month where we celebrate the fighters, the survivors, and the angels, we celebrate the families who have over come and battled until they won, we unite and fight together, and bring awareness to childhood cancer so these children do not have to fight alone. Landon is a fighter, he’s an inspiration to us, he brings us hope everyday, and we continue to pray that he thrives through out his cancer journey. 30  | WINTER GARDEN MAGAZINE | SEPTEMBER 2018
