Team Macie Ann

This site is dedicated to the memory of Macie Ann McCloud. She became an angel on August 5th, 2005 after a courageous battle against acute myelogenous leukemia. We miss Macie desperately. As our family struggles to live without our precious little girl, we are turning our grief into action. Through volunteering for organizations whose missions we support, we hope to make a difference for other children and their families who face the horror of pediatric cancers.

Greetings from Team Macie Ann. We are thrilled to announce that the Team Macie Ann Crawfish Boil was a terrific success. Thank you to the nearly 300 people who joined us on a gorgeous afternoon in June to honor the memory of our sweet Macie and to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

We just got word that we raised $10,378.50. That's just fantastic!!! We're so proud to be able to donate that much money to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in memory of Macie. Every dollar helps researchers find better treatments and ultimately a cure for blood cancers so patients like Macie don't have to suffer.

We will be turning in all the money raised at the annual "Light the Night Walk" for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in downtown Raleigh on Saturday, September 8th. We invite you to be part of this amazing evening with us. You can register to be part of Team Macie Ann at: http://teams.lightthenight.org/teammacieann_bicentennialplazamuseumofnaturalsciences.
If you register before July 20th, you can get free tickets to see the Durham Bulls play on August 1st as part of the official "Light the Night" kick-off celebration. We hope you'll join us.

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support our family.
