Sometimes the greatest distance
traveled is accomplished in just a few
steps. After Trevor Smith’s surgery for
brain cancer in November, 2002, at the
age of thirteen he couldn’t even get
out of bed. When he fi nally took his
fi rst steps, it was with someone holding
onto him. During his chemotherapy
and radiation treatments he became
too weak to stand up. When he took
his fi rst steps again, his balance was
impaired and he had a limp (A side eff
of chemotherapy). Facing a change
new school during his treatments, he
told not to do it; the kids would laugh
at him because he “walked funny.” But he went to the new school
anyway, deciding that if he could face up to cancer, he could face
to a few kids who might make fun of him.
Trevor Smith is a survivor. At the age of eighteen, he has become
forceful voice for the children of Idaho who are suff ering from cancer.
Trevor, and all the other childhood cancer patients who will be
alongside him at the second annual Trevor’s Trek on Saturday,
September 13, 2008, invite you to: Walk a Mile in Our Shoes.
