The Atfield family attended Lighthouse Family Retreat two years after son Trey was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005. The weeklong seaside vacation is a way for families dealing with childhood cancer to relax and unwind. The family has since volunteered with the organization each year. - photo by For the FCN
