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.
Taylor Filorimo, 16, of Goose Creek,
South Carolina, passed away to the same childhood killer Sept. 5, 2012. Maria
Coleman Filorimo is her mother.
Peaytt put together a video, “Live 4 Tay (RIP
Taylor Filorimo),” in her honor. Country music star Luke Bryan visited Taylor
before she died.
Erin Griffin, 14, lost the same
battle in Australia Sept. 1, 2014.
Lexy, 11, in Gladstone, Oregon, is
alive . . . for now. But battling childhood cancer.
