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!

Cobber night!

Leanne and Ryan (plus Ryan's parents, Leanne's dad, and sister) made the trip up to Moorhead last night for the Cobber women's basketball game in honor of Leanne's fight against breast cancer.


There were t-shirts for sale, TEAM CHIN wristbands, and some stories about Leanne's past few months. Needless to say, Leanne and Ryan felt incredibly loved by their Cobber family. Prior to the game, Leanne's former coach shared Leanne's story with the crowd.


Here is Leanne with Coach Rahman.


Leanne was amazed by the number of people who came out to show their support. Former teammates, former teammates parents, former professors, family members, former coaches, Leanne's family she nannied for in Fargo, and many more.


And to top it all off, the Cobber's won! TEAM CHIN is so thankful for the Cobber's support for Leanne and for dedicating their game to her.

P.S. One lucky lady got to spend the night with a special little guy :)


Coming tomorrow: a chemo update and some more pics of Leo!
