Serenity was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia on May 24, 2008. Lifting Up Serenity is dedicated to her recovery and supporting her family throughout their journey through childhood cancer.

“I would like to quickly share the story behind the name of the site. On Sunday morning, just before her surgery, the Hospital Chaplain came by and asked us if we would like her to say a prayer for Serenity. We happily accepted and during the prayer, she said something that really stuck with us. She said, “Lord, please lift up Serenity in your arms while she is in surgery” (or something to that effect, unfortunately we can’t remember it verbatim). Adria’s friend, Amanda, was in the room with us and we all commented that that line in her prayer was particularly beautiful and we decided that her support site should be called Lifting Up Serenity.”

“Shortly before her surgery, the hospital chaplain said a prayer and asked our Heavenly Father to lift up Serenity during this time. I don’t remember the rest of the prayer but that phrase touched us and as we were considering site domains it seemed an appropriate expression of our hopes and wishes for her during this difficult time.”
