Fundraiser Details
When
Did you know that only about 4% of all money raised for cancer research goes towards childhood cancers? Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the US and 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer will succomb to it. My family and I know this all too well as almost 30 years ago, we lost my brother Nicholas when he was 8 years old to Askin's Sarcoma. Nick fought bravely for 3 years and left a lasting legacy in his short life.
This year, 2016, is a milestone for me personally as I will enter a new decade. As I say goodbye to my 30's and hello to my 40's, I thought what better way to honor my brother's memory than by raising money for a great cause. And as it turns out, September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month - IT'S A SIGN!
The money you donate will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. Please help kids and their families by providing desperately needed hope! Thanks for your support & helping to welcome me into this next decade in the best way possible - giving the gift of hope and life to children and families devastated by this disease.
