From the Foundation:
At nineteen months old, Grace Oughton was diagnosed with a rapidly progressing cancer called Neuroblastoma. Grace'’s rare form of cancer requires her to travel to a specialty center where she is currently undergoing chemotherapy and other aggressive treatments at Children'’s Hospital -– Boston and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Jimmy Fund Clinic.

A group of friends and family members established the Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation to support the family and health care needs of Grace. This foundation is a charity under the umbrella of the National Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization.

Grace is the young daughter of Alec and Crystal Oughton, a loving couple who are dedicated to their community. Alec is a career firefighter and paramedic. Crystal is a registered nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, St Mary'’s Hospital in Richmond. Grace also has a 3 year old brother, Landon.

I was in Richmond earlier this month and privilegeprivlege of hearing about this courageous little girl. She is the daughter of Henrico Firefighter Alec Oughton. Please keep them in your prayers. Check out the site at the link above.
