Dixie and Aaron, Ronald McDonald House Paw Pal Volunteers

"The mission (of the House) is something that became more and more important to us," Dixie said. "One Child, as he was playing with our dog, told me: "It was a good day because now I only have a little cancer and last time I had a lot of cancer." That puts life into perspective."

"We drew up a living trust four years ago," said Dixie. "It wasn't even a discussion – we knew that the House would be a part of the trust. It was one of the easiest decisions we have ever made."
