Auction to Benefit Layla Grace

by Kate on March 2nd, 2010 | 6 Comments » | In Blogging, Life

When Lesley of Project Mommyhood contacted me the other day to let me know about an auction she’s organizing to benefit Layla Grace, I admit I was clueless as I haven’t been following the little girl’s story. But I quickly learned the 2 year old who is losing her battle with cancer has touched many, including Lesley who is working hard to raise money for a suffering family in need.

Layla Grace’s Story

Layla has a massive cancerous tumor (Stage 4 Neuroblastoma) in her abdomen. It extends from above her left kidney, around her side, over her belly and wraps around her aorta. In addition, the cancer is in her bone marrow.

Our sweet Layla went from normal happy and healthy to lethargic, in pain, and skin and bones in a matter of a week and a half.

Basically every mother’s worst nightmare is coming true for this family. You can read more about Layla Grace on her family’s blog and on Twitter. You can also hear Layla Grace’s mom’s interview with Ryan Seacest.

What: Auction of more than 25 products from 15 mompreneur businesses and ALL PROCEEDS will benefit Layla Grace Marsh and her family

When: Friday March 5th 7 AM EST until 11:59 PST on March 6th

Please stop by Project Mommyhood this Friday and Saturday to bid on some items. It’s for a great cause.
