Jay Jay and Feliz Lucas lived every parents worst nightmare when doctors told them their little girl Caitie had cancer. But she didn’t have a cancer that doctor know how to try and fight. Caitie’s cancer was so rare that it was literally one in a million.

But they continued to fight and so did Caitie. By three years old Caitie had already endured more shots, doctor’s appointment and blood transfusions than most of us will in an entire lifetime. And she was always brave and joyful despite it all.

But, through it all they were leaning on the Lord. They had to continue to remind themselves that as much as they love Caitie the Lord loves her more than they ever could. So they did the one thing that no parent does easily, they surrendered Caitie’s life to Him completely.

After fighting long and hard the Lord took Caitie home. And that is when these parents decided to do something that truly grabbed the world’s attention.
