Confessions of a NMSU Volleyball Addict

There's a lot to be said about the Volleyball community online. Sure we get into it but there are times when we need to rally around a player.

I was checking out Volleytalk today and found a post about a young volleyball player in Washington. Shay broke her leg during a tournament which led to the discovery of a serious cancer. From her Caring Bridge Journal -

"Shayla Holwegner is my beautiful and sassy 16 year old daughter who was diagnosed with osteo sarcoma in her left femur on 3/2/07. The short story goes like this: Shay got her driver's license on a Saturday, broke her leg on Sunday, was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer on Wednesday and moved to Seattle for treatment on the following Monday, 3/5/07."

Wow.

If you'd like to stop by her Journal, please do and sign the guestbook.
