We decorated our car, and headed out to participate in "Team Toni"
"Bringing Toni home -- it was only one year ago
that Toni Black was diagnosed with lung cancer. She was just 22, and that
cancer quickly spread to her brain.
But, after a year of chemotherapy and radiation with little
results, doctors have stopped all treatment.
On Tuesday, Toni returns home from the hospital at Duke
University, but not without a proper homecoming. What started out as an idea to
welcome her home with a few signs along the roads to her home has taken on a
life of its own.
From Charleston, W.Va., to Chesapeake, Ohio, thousands of folks
have joined Team Toni for a homecoming brigade.
(The estimate was at least 12 thousand people
lined I-64 and Route 60 from Kanawha County all the way to Toni's hometown)" WSAZ.com
Allowing the boys to see such support for one person, as well as have the chance to talk about how fleeting life is, and how one person can make a difference, are some of the reasons we went.

What a wonderful tribute to her and so sad that she is only 22 to have such a devastating disease. That is unheard of at that age. Prayers to her and her family and kudos to the people who are welcoming her home.
this is awesome.
very sweet!
Great that you all joined in to welcome her back. I'm sure her family felt overwhelmed and most importantly supported.
