I hope you got to see Daisy. You are one brave little girl. And, Emily, I’m anxious to hear how you do at the Olympic trials. How can you run so fast? The only sport I’m really good at is skateboarding. I’ve been skating since I was six. I hope you make it to the Olympics. I can’t wait to watch them. Sincerely, Alec Murray Dear Emily and Maddie,

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:20:17 +0000 http://twotrials.org/2008/03/24/delayed-intensification-begins/#comment-261 Dear Maddie and Emily, I’d like to start off by saying thank you for coming and talking to us about Maddie’s leukemia. Maddie, you were very lionhearted and fearless for talking to the small crowd about your beaded journey and about your leukemia. Emily, I hope you can fit in training enough so you can qualify to get to the Olympics. It would be awesome to have that feeling of accomplishment after running the marathon. I can’t say I know or have been through what Maddie is going through at the moment, but I truly was heartbroken to hear what happened. Sometimes I think to myself there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, almost like there is always something to look forward to. I hope Maddie gets healthier from now on. Sincerely, Kyle W.

I think that it is so brave of Maddie that she doesn’t complain about all the shots she gets and how she has to get blood drawn sometimes. I hope your shots didn’t hurt too much yesterday. Emily, I think that it’s really strong of you to open up and be able to talk about Maddie’s blood disease. Maddie, I’m sorry that your pee didn’t turn pink. Emily, I hope you reach your goal for the Two Trials Fundraiser and do well in the Olympic trials. I really appreciate that you came and good luck. Sincerely, Arianna Dear Maddie and Emily,

How are you feeling about all of this? Our whole school thinks that Maddie is so cute. We all love how open you were to all of us and how happy you looked. So Maddie, are you the cool type of girl that loves to play with dolls and animals, and go to fun places to see all your friends. That’s exactly the type of person I am. I would hate having to take shots every week. I would probably fall down crying. But you are such a trooper and I really respect that coming from a four-year-old. I’m just wondering how you really feel, Emily, about having a child that has leukemia and having everyone know about it. Does Maddie realize that it’s a serious disease to have? And how do other people reactwhen the see a little girl who has leukemia? I know these are questions that many people have asked you before, but Maddie seems like a real sweet girl and that you should keep fighting and always know that you are such a wonderful person. I hope that you, Emily, will go into the Olympics and Maddie will fight out of leukemia as champions! From, Megan Hixon Hi Maddie and Emily,

Maddie, when I heard about and how she had leukemia, I thought that she might be really down and sad. I thought it was great when I saw what a trooper you were. You are quite possibly the most adorable toddler that I have ever seen. Emily, I admire how you could speak so openly about her disease. Many people, when confronted with such a topic, would break down in tears. She is truly an amazing little girl. I think you are great, too. I think that it is wonderful that you qualified for the Olympic Trials. I love to run just like you, so I can imagine how happy you must be. You might get the chance to match your skills with those of athletes from all over the world. That’s pretty awesome! I really enjoyed it when Maddie insisted on passing everything around for people to see. I could tell that she wanted to share her beaded trail [which obviously meant a lot to her] with us. If you win, great, if you don’t, I’ll still be cheering for you. Maddie, you are so brave. Get well soon. Sincerely, Bryn Dear Emily and Maddie,

I learned a lot more about leukemia than I had ever imagined possible. This was a very important and educational lesson for me because my great-grandfather died of cancer a couple of weeks ago, and I never really talked about it with him because we weren’t very close. When you came to my school and talked about the treatments your daughter gets every day, it helped me see the things my great-grandfather went through. When you first came in to our class, I didn’t know what to expect because I thought that you would be kind of sad to really talk about things openly, but you were amazing! If I had a daughter, I would have never been able be as strong as you were yesterday. I was really surprised that Maddie wasn’t scared or nervous to show or talk about her problem. She was so inviting and friendly. Again thank you, Emily and Maddie, for giving me a better understanding of cancer. Your Admirer, Quiara Lessard P.S. Good luck with your two trials!!!!!!!!!
