MILE 4: Myla Vanderhoof - Breast, Lung, and Brain Cancer

Myla Vanderhoof
April 4, 1954 - January 8, 2013
Myla and Burt
Myla is the mother Burt, my fiancé's friend.

Here is Myla's story in Burt's words: 
     
     My mom had first over came breast cancer about 15 years ago.  Then, she had a heart attack 10 years ago. In the last two years she was fighting with lung cancer, which she had won, but then some brain tumors were found.  After a surgery, we thought they were all gone but they weren’t. My mom knew it was her time and refused any more treatment and within days she was finally pain free.

Burt chose Mile 4 for Myla in honor of her birthday, April 4th.

Make a donation in memory of Myla and others we have lost, those still fighting, and those who may one day be spared this fight because of what we‘re doing. 
Give to make yourself a part of this historical effort.
