You rock Casey. You inspire me. Stay Strong and remember, "If you try to win, you might lose, but if you don't try to win, you lose for sure!" You are a winner and I appreciate your awesome attitude.

Warmly,

I've worn a Livestrong bracelet on my wrist since RMS 17 in honor of you. It's climbed mountains, set course records in running races, held my new godson, and soon will be on my wrist when I get married. Some times I think my life is tough, but I always have it there to remind me of what true courage is.

Thanks for inspiring me and making me believe that you have to fight for your right to live the way you want!
