Love Isn't Blind: The Story of Tacey Raulerson


Tacey was born with retinoblastoma, a rare form of cancer that affects the eyes. Her right eye was removed when she was 9 months old, and last August— just a few days after starting first grade — Tacey underwent surgery to remove her left eye.
The surgery likely will not be her last. Doctors say the chance of Tacey developing future cancerous tumors is extremely high. Despite the pain and darkness that has filled their daughter's short life, the Raulersons are neither bitter nor depressed. If anything, they are grateful.

Tacey, my farrier, Bob, today told me about you. His sister is a friend of yours, and he told me all about what a great little rider you are. He also told me about maybe you getting a horse? I hope we can see videos of your new equestrian adventures. Best wishes, kb in TX
