His brief 21 months of life was filled with chemo, multiple surgeries, blood/platelet transfusions, life support and 16 months of hospitalization. Cole displayed a fighting spirit throughout his life and Brandy continues her involvement with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) – the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education, and patient services – in his honor.

Brandy is very active raising funds for LLS. She has participated on Telethons and helped raise $2 million. In 2007, Brandy joined Team in Training, ran her first marathon and raised $5000 for LLS.
