Childhood cancer is a battle that we MUST win!

Chip Davis, Danny Wells and Arlos Smith visited Brogan Camille Raddish’s grave. On Brogan’s tombstone is written: “Some much love, so little time.”

That’s the title of the song they wrote that is sung by Nile “Big Daddy” Peaytt, a Fairmont country/pop singer whose Facebook page promotes the fight against childhood cancer. 

That’s what took Brogan’s life, at the age of 14 years, 5 months and 1 day on Nov. 23, 2009. Brogan fought the terrible disease for eight years.
