Quincy loves beading so she has been working on a bunch of necklaces, bracelets and wine charms (with gold awareness ribbons) to sell for St. Baldrick's. By supporting St. Baldrick's, Quincy, and children just like her, directly benefit as her doctors try to tailor her treatment to kill the cancer without making her too miserable in the process. Cancer is a devastating and fierce disease, and there is nothing more sad than watching children fight it. The treatments for cancer need to be as fierce as the disease, and the effects are often devastating on the body. Quincy couldn't walk for months, has lost weight, lost her hair, experienced neuropathy and myopathy, and is always vulnerable to infections. Quincy has had a port surgically implanted, has endured more needle pokes than I can count, numerous blood transfusions, and has spent months in the hospital. Yet Quincy is considered "lucky" to have such a curable form of cancer with a very good prognosis. So many other children we have met have a much tougher battle to fight. More research needs to be done to find cures and to make the treatments available to children less harmful and toxic. Thank you for supporting this terrific organization in honor of our Quincy!
