Black and Brown Markers

In 2003 a young poet named Lauren Richmond was diagnosed with a clival chordoma. Despite enduring multiple surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy, Lauren kept writing and dreamed of one day sharing her poems with the world. Lauren's wish was granted when the Marty Lyons Foundation helped her publish a powerful collection of poems entitled Black and Brown Markers.

Lauren hopes her passion for poetry will educate and inspire others. Black and Brown Markers not only fulfilled Lauren's wish to share her poems, but also gives her a lasting way to help beat the disease which she has so courageously battled.

You can help help Lauren fund a cure for chordoma by purchasing her enriching book of poetry. To place an order send an email with you name, phone number, mailing address, and the number of books you wish to purchase to . Black and Brown Markers sells for $14.95 plus $5.00 S&H.
