This is a picture of my Mom and I after we hiked up Beehive trail in Acadia. This was only a few days after she had her first bone marrow biopsy. The hike was 520 feet almost straight up the side of a cliff, we were so proud of Mom finishing this hike!
My Mom is a fighter and not giving up.
I love you!
Jacob
