Earlier this evening, I received an uplifting email from a complete stranger who learned about Margot today and came away inspired to spread the word.
Thank you for sharing Lauren and also for agreeing to let me post your email below.

Team Margot
Together, saving lives
===
I sat in the waiting room of a a surgery clinic in Epsom today. My mum picked up a small pink Team Margot wristband. She passed it to me and said ‘wear this’.
As I’m sitting on the sofa and have just looked down and noticed I am still wearing the pink bracelet.
I have just read your blog on the teammargot.com website. I am sitting here heartbroken.
I can’t even put into words how sad I am about beautiful Margot and this terrible disease.
As I am reading your blog I am clutching at straws thinking, surely, there will be light at the end of the tunnel for this family. The strength and hope you had at the time is so inspiring.
I wanted to send your family an email just to say that you have the most beautiful….extraordinary….brave (the list is endless) daughter.
I can’t even begin to imagine how hard of a time you had.
I am sitting here literally lost for words.
I registered as a stem cell/bone marrow donor over 2 months ago now and I will be sure to tell everyone that I know to do the same!!!
My daughter turns one next Monday. I can’t even imagine what your family would have been going through. What a little solider Margot was.
You are an extremely brave and amazing family and my heart goes out to you all.
I will be wearing my wrist pink band everyday! #teammargot
All my Love
