тАЬElena has left behind a story of resilience, hope and most of all, love. We canтАЩt help but take her into our hearts, and carry the best of her into our own lives.тАЭ

Notes Left Behind by Brooke and Keith Desserich began as a journal they kept after their five-year-old daughter Elena was diagnosed with brain cancer and given just 165 days to live. As poignant and inspiring as Randy PauschтАЩs The Last Lecture, it is the story of the courage of a truly remarkable little girl who accomplished so much in so little timeтАФand of her parentsтАЩ love and dedication to their child and their family. New York Times bestselling author James Patterson was profoundly moved by ElenaтАЩs beautiful life and Notes Left Behind, calling it, тАЬa stunning story that teaches us how precious children, family, and life are, and that the sacrifices we make are worth it. I wonтАЩt forget the Desserich family, and neither will you.тАЭBrooke and Keith Desserich live in Cincinnati with their daughter, Gracie. They have several businesses, but their main professions are as a mother and a father. With the help of family and many friends, they founded The Cure Starts Now, a revolutionary cancer foundation dedicated to a ""home run"" cure strategy for all cancers, starting first with one of the most deadly and difficult cancers: pediatric brain cancer.
