Erin Galbraith

Some of the girls had the chance to go visit Erin with some good friends of ours, the Anderson's. The Anderson's soccer team, also known as the Cougars, are working on doing service for others. We were trying to get Erin to be a ball girl at one of our BYU Soccer games, but we had the chance to visit her in her home instead. Someone asked Erin what she wanted them to decorate her wheelchair with and she said soccer stuff. The soccer girls were all grateful to have the opportunity to spend a few minutes with the Galbraith family, and drop off some BYU Soccer stuff. It was an amazing experience, and I know the girls enjoyed spending time with Erin and her family. Here is Erin Hope's Story:

"On October 19, 2005 Erin Hope Galbraith was our normal, adorable, spunky little 4-year old angel who loved Disney princesses and hated broccoli. On October 20th, our world was changed when a large brain tumor that took up approximately two-thirds of her brain was discovered. After a 13-hour grueling surgery, the tumor was completely removed. During the following days her recovery was sensational and her spunkiness and innate ability to make all around her laugh returned. On October 28, 2005 the devastating news came that the tumor that was removed was malignant. Due to the highly aggressive and malignant nature of the tumor, the doctors had given Erin only a short time to live. "

Thank you to the Anderson's and the mini Cougars for letting us come along and share in that experience. Thanks to the Galbraith family for having us over, and you could tell that Erin is an amazing girl. You are in our prayers!
