On Tuesday October 11, 2011 Leanne (Chin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog will follow her journey. It will share the peaks and valleys along the way. But it will also serve as a way to communicate prayer requests and praises. Join us as we partner with Chin and fight along side her for she "...can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phil. 4:13

The meaning behind Chin ... There is a Chinese restaurant in the Twin Cities named Leann Chin. While Leanne was attending a basketball camp in middle school, a fellow camper had a bag from the restaurant. This camper made the connection between the name of the restaurant and Leanne's name. And the nickname Chin stuck!

Hey coach. You were my 8th grade coach 3 years ago and it was so much fun to play basketball then. My mom showed me this and I am praying for you.

Dear LeAnne "Chin" and Ryan,
I know your Mom, Chin, and your sister Aimee. I am FB friends with both and have seen lots of beautiful pictures of your family and read about the love of your wonderfully close family.
I'm sorry to learn about your diagnosis and am thankful that you have a blog I can follow so that I can be praying for you, Ryan and your little one.
Thank you for the specific prayer requests. I have them written down and will carry them with me so that I can keep you in my prayers at all times.
The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine on you
and give you peace.

The road that God paves for us is sometimes the bumpiest, windiest, longest and so much more, but the best of it is that with God all things are possible!! I wake every morning thanking him for another day and for our families and you know how large that is!! I do believe we number into the hundreds now!! But back to your team Chin. How ironic that on my birthday Oct. 6 I decided to purchase some of the stella dot bracelets for breast cancer and on tuesday they were on my doorstep. I believe everything happens for a reason and love and prayer will get us through! You are in my thoughts and prayers a lot even though we are miles apart. I do miss your mom who is like a sister to me too considering our ages!! Love,
Aunt Mary Ellen

Leanne, You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard of the challenge you are now facing. I have always liked the verse you have on your beautiful photo... "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". It has helped me through some tough times and I am believing it will give you strength as well. We miss you at school, but know you are where you need to be.
Continued Prayers and Hope,
Sheila

Hey Leanne-

I hate hearing this news but know you are SOOO strong and have a TON of people praying for you. If you need anything please ask away! Your teammates care a lot about you and I'm sure we can get Anne to throw on a pair of your old knee high boots and do a little dance for you!?!?! :) I'm sure she'd be MORE than willing! Take care, friend!!

Ryan and Leanne - I've been thinking of you guys all weekend after hearing your news. I hope you're feeling the strength and support of SO many people who care about you. I hope your week gets off to a good start with the big meeting today and your appointment. Try to make time for the moments of excitement with your little one even in the midst of everything else. You're in great hands with your doctors, nurses, family...Know that I'm praying for you all!

Joan Voigt said...

OKAY...try again. I wrote a letter, sent hugs, thanks, miss you, prayers and no where on this page do I see what I sent. Being completely computer illiterate, I will try again. If I see this, then I know what I have to do. Hoping that all is going well and CONGRATS on "it's a BOY". Hope that my hyphen, period are in the right spot!
Miss YOU LOTS.

YEAH, YEAH and more YEAH's for the cancer not spreading. Love the Danielle look!
You are in my thoughts all of the time and I look so forward to reading what is going on. It is so heart-warming to see your smile as it tells me that you are going into this with a positive attitude. Between that, support of family and friends, prayers and faith in God, you should be good to go.
Take care my dear Teacher friend. Prayers are being sent your way along with hugs.
Love, Joan
