Did you know that a backpack can be a lifesaving device?
Thanks to a recent research breakthrough, kids with B-cell ALL are receiving a new lifesaving treatment through a backpack.
It has increased their survival rate to 96% and has allowed them to be home, attend school, play with friends, and get back to doing the things they love.
My nephew was diagnosed with B-cell last year and is currently undergoing this treatment. His doctor is fortunate enough to receive funding from the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
I'm taking on the backpack challenge to stand in solidarity with him during his treatment and raise funds to Send Kids Cancer Packing! I'm committed to raising $2,500 to represent the 2,500 kids who will be diagnosed with B-cell ALL this year and to fund research to help all kids with cancer. Please consider donating – YOU pack the power to take childhood back from cancer!
