It was a simple question, right?
On October 24, 2017 by Michelle LoveI was notified by Leslie, the Editor at Lake Norman Woman Magazine, that my charity was selected to be included in their Charity Issue this December, 2017. I’ve been a contributing writer for the magazine for just over a year now. I’m very aware of the process of selection for articles in the other months Read More
Lincoln Times-News article ….by Michelle Bernard
On September 27, 2017 by Michelle LoveI spent an hour of Michelle Bernard’s time on the phone on Monday, Sept. 25. I told her most of our story, crying through most of the hour’s discussion. I felt like she understood the hell that we went through, that BJ went through – at least some of it. She really did a great Read More
Football goes gold for cancer awareness by Brianna Crane, Denver Weekly
On September 1, 2017 by Michelle LoveDENVER – On Sept. 1 the North Lincoln High School cheerleaders will wave gold pompoms and the Knights football players will sport gold socks as they take on Fred T. Foard under the lights. The gold socks and pompoms will be provided by the Stand Firm Warrior Foundation – a nonprofit organization aimed to bring Read More
Another Sunday
On August 20, 2017 by Michelle LoveDidn’t sleep well again. Finally gave into the restlessness and opened my eyes to see 4am, yet again. Xanax couldn’t even keep my mind quiet last night. As usual, I read from my phone until my eyes are too heavy to stay open. As the time ticked by, the torture going on in my own Read More
Inaugural March Forth run
On March 10, 2017 by Michelle LoveSaturday’s inaugural March Forth 5k and 15k was a huge success! We had 212 participants registered for the run, and broke the ice locally, by having the first 15k in Denver, NC. Even more came out just to support the runners, and to recognize BJ’s 16th birthday. We are so excited to announce that the Read More
Feel the day – March Forth
On February 18, 2017 by Michelle LovePosted by WBTV’s Molly Grantham… You’re invited to Lincoln County’s largest birthday party. It’s for BJ Correll, who would turn sixteen on March 4th. As in, March Fourth. Or, if you’re his mom and sister still trying to carry out his mission, March Forth. Get it? The “March Forth 5k and 15k” is in memory of Read More
Even small changes are hard
On February 15, 2017 by Michelle LoveOver a week ago, I reluctantly requested a page name change…from “Cure For BJ Round 2” to “The Stand Firm Warrior Foundation”. Almost immediately, FB denied the request. I appealed as soon as it bounced back, but thought well, I wasn’t totally ready for that anyway. It probably sounds silly, but it isn’t easy to Read More
Passion Directed by Grief
On January 30, 2017 by Michelle LoveBecause of what we fought through with BJ, and now living without him, *this* is where my passion lies. My son’s life, his future and the future of so many other children are cut short by what I see as greed, nonchalance and naive complacency. Kids deserve more cancer research funding than they get… 3.8% Read More
The Stand Firm Warrior Foundation
On January 2, 2017 by Michelle LoveThrough unbearable days and ok days since March 6, 2016, we have tried to focus on bringing some good from the path we’ve been on. I announced back in the fall that we started a foundation that would help to further pediatric cancer research with a focus on alternative treatments to the standards of chemotherapy Read More
The baton has been passed, the fight continues
On September 28, 2016 by Michelle LoveI want to thank you for following BJ’s fight with leukemia, for your fervent prayers, your support and words of encouragement, especially since his relapse in May last year. BJ was first diagnosed with “very high risk” pre-B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on September 13, 2012 at the age of 11. Soon after he Read More
