The Story Behind This Hero Fund

Mimi was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on September 19, 2014 after cancer cells were found in a routine blood draw for stomach pain.

It is truly the fight of Mimi's life and the biggest challenge we have faced. Support from friends and family has been incredible and we can't thank you enough for all you have done and are doing for Mimi and our family.

Pediatric cancer research is very underfunded and lags behind adult cancer research. While great gains have been made in the last two decades, there is still much to discover. Treatments and medications for children are strong, toxic and can have difficult near and long term side effects.

Some pediatric cancers have high survival rates while others do not. We want every child to have a fighting chance and to survive. ALL has a good treatment outcome and high survival rates but the treatment is long and hard on the child. And until there is a 100% survival rate, there is work to be done.

We feel so thankful that the research thus far has allowed ALL to have good outcomes and we want doctors and scientists to continue making advances in the field so treatments are more effective, less toxic, and so more children can celebrate more birthdays year after year.

Please join Mighty Mimi on her battle ahead and donate to support pediatric cancer research. Help us say "KAPOW" to cancer!
