Team Emmett

I've been wanting to post something about Team Emmett for a long time, but I wanted to find just the right words. I still haven't found them, but in a situation like this, sometimes there are no words fit to describe what you're trying to say.

Just so you know, this team is NOT related to Twilight in any way, shape, or form.

Team Emmett helps with the medical bills of Emmett Stallings. He's a professional drummer and lives in Nashville. Emmett has a wife and a 3-year old son.
And this February, Emmett was diagnosed with stage-four terminal cancer.
I don't know Emmett personally, but I heard his story when I went to church camp at the end of June.
He used to be a summer staffer at Look Up Lodge. The staffers there are incredible, and great people to talk to if you're going through any kind of junk.

Hearing about it really made me angry at myself for taking life for granted while Emmett was trying to enjoy his life while he still could.

If you guys could donate in any way, please do so. But if you can't, please spread the word about Emmett and keep him in your prayers.
