Join us to have some fun – and be a hero for kids with cancer!
Come be a part of the 25th year of St. Baldrick’s volunteers working to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!
You’ll be giving hope to thousands of kids diagnosed with cancer every day – from babies and toddlers to children, teens and young adults. In fact, you’ll be saving lives!
One of our local, honored kids is Brooks Murphy aka Brooks the Brave. At just 5 years old, he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in November, a rare cancer found in the adrenal glands. Since his diagnosis, they have learned that it has spread to his bone marrow. He is currently courageously battling, and we are all supporting him!
Another of our local and honored kids is Brigid. At
18-months old, Brigid presented symptoms of croup cough. Four days later, we
were given diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma. As part of treatment, Brigid was on an
experimental pharmaceutical pediatric cancer drug trial due to shock from
typical chemo drug. She lost hair and appetite resulting in tube feeds for
nutrition. She rang the bell in late September 2022. Labor Day weekend of 2023,
Brigid began complaining of lower back pain. Mid September 2023, biopsy
revealed mature B-cell leukemia (very rare in pediatric patients). At 5-years
old, she had her second cancer diagnosis. Treatment is ongoing with 3+ months
of living at Children’s Hospital. Brigid is in a current immunotherapy
treatment to hopefully remain in remission.Our event will speed the search for cures through St. Baldrick’s, the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants.
