Hi. I am Julie Lansdell. I am married to Kevin Lansdell and we are from Tupelo, MS. Kevin & I have 2 children. Crystal is 14 and Haden is 12. I would like to share with you why we started this website. I understand that when you are facing a life altering experience that you may feel alone, depressed, or angry.

Hello, my name is Kevin Russell; you may know me from KZ103, but what you may not know is that I’m a Cancer Survivor!!! Back in June 2004, I noticed a knot on the right side of my neck.

I received an early birthday present, a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. I received the news on July 14, just days prior to my 23rd birthday.
