Purpose
It is the belief of our founders, Andy and Jessica Miller that small actions, thoughts, deeds, and dollars can make a profound impact. By creating, coordinating, and implementing initiatives and providing awareness, Karsyn’s Krusaders – Kickin’ Cancer’s Butt One Lap at a Time™ gives individuals an active and unique opportunity to turn simple actions and giving into something significant.
Moving Forward
Together we celebrate those who have won the fight, support those that continue the battle, and share the devastation of those who have stood by helplessly and watched their children lose their lives to this terrible disease. Today we move forward as a combined group of individuals who are not only dedicated to supporting our favorite driver(s), but unified in our endeavor to make a significant impact on the lives of those who fight day in and day out to “Kick Cancer’s Butt”.

I HOPE
I hope you never have to hear the words
"Your child has cancer".
I hope you never have to hear
"The prognosis is not good".
I hope you never have to watch your child prepare to undergo chemo,
have a "port" surgically implanted in their chest
be connected to an IV pole
look at you with fear in their eyes and say
"Don't worry Mom, it's going to be okay."
I hope you never have to hold your child while they vomit green bile.
I hope you never have to feed them ice chips for lunch.
I hope you never have to watch the "cure" you pray for slowly take away your child's identity, as they lose their hair, become skeletal, develop severe acne
become barely able to walk or move
look at you with hope in their eyes and say
"It's going to be okay Mom."
I hope you never have to stay in the hospital for weeks at a time
where there is no privacy
sleeping on a slab, your face to the wall
where you cry in muffled silence.
I hope you never have to see a mother
alone, huddled in a dark hospital corridor,
crying quietly after just being told
"there's nothing more we can do".
I hope you never have to watch a family wandering aimlessly
minutes after their child's body has been removed.
I hope you never have to use every bit it energy you have left
with all of this going on around you, to remain positive
and the feelings of guilt, sorrow, hope and fear overwhelm you.
I hope you never have to see your child's head bolted to a table
while they receive radiation.
I hope that you never know what it is like to take your child home
(grateful but so afraid)
in a wheelchair because the chemo has damaged their muscles
35 pound lighter, pale, bald and scarred
and they look at you with faith in their eyes and say
"It's going to be okay Mom."
I hope you never have to face the few friends that have stuck by you and hear them say, "Thank God it's all over"
because you know it will never be over.
Your life becomes a whirl of doctors, blood tests and MRI's
and you try to get your life back to normal while living in mind-numbing fear that any one of these tests could result in hearing the dreaded words:
"The cancer has returned".
And your friends become even fewer.
I hope you never have to experience any of these things.
Because only then.
Will you understand.
