Aiyana Margaret Rose Self is a beautiful little girl who was loved by anyone who had the opportunity to meet her. Born on 3/6/01, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. When told that she wouldn't be able to walk, she learned how to run. When told she couldn't swim, she said, âWatch This!â
Aiyana overcame just about every obstacle that looked her in the face and told her, âNoâ She would smile back and say, âTry meâ And one of the greatest things I was able to witness her do, is be an Aunt to our children. Her face would light up when seeing our kids. If our boys were around she was always with them.
She was a light that burned bright in our family, when she would talk to me, it was like everything else around was a blur. Nothing else mattered or existed because you would be so entranced with her love.
On October 28th, of 2009 we found out that she was diagnosed with 2 types of leukemia and immediately needed to undergo chemotherapy. Not even 30 days later on November 24th, of 2009 she passed.
There is no one who could take her place. I had the pleasure and opportunity to know her for 2 years as well as call her my little sister. Our family misses her so much and there isn't one day that goes by, that we don't think about her.
My wife and I are not wealthy people, so we can only do so much. On November 17th, 2012 at Van Vleck Ranch 7898 Van Vleck Road, Rancho Murieta, CA 95683. I will be running a 12 + mile race with 25 obstacles in between called The Spartan Race.
I have been training 5 â 6 days a week for the past 3 â 4 months. But this isn't about me or supporting me. This is about supporting what I am running for.
My wife and I are donating what we can to the Home for our Troops, and Leukemia, Lymphoma Society charities.
I have a friend who owns a printing shop in Lodi and we will be making shirts for Yana's Run. They will be $15 each and he has agreed to donate a portion to The Leukemia, Lymphoma Society. If you would like one please send me your payment with sizes that you would like.
On top of that, I have opened my Paypal account to accept any donations. All donations will be put into one lump sum, and donated directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It doesn't have to be a large amount. It can be as little as $2.00 Every little bit counts.
If you would like to come out and support the run, that would be great. There will be food, live music and a place for the children to play and get muddy.
If you would like to donate through cash or check you can mail your donation to me. The Paypal link for donations is on my facebook. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to join me in this race, at 4amink@gmail.com
This is a great cause and our family and I appreciate any support given. We can't get our Aiyana back, but we might be able to help other families keep theirs.
Thank You
