What could possibly be more important than saving the life of a child? I heard those four words: “Your daughter has cancer” 27 years ago. She’s a survivor, yes but we can do better than that. Only five new drugs for pediatric cancer since she was diagnosed nearly 30 years ago. Compare that to the thousands of new treatments for adult cancers, depression, weight loss, COVID, eczema, psoriasis, dry eyes…it really makes me angry that our children don’t get the same effort! So, will you help? I have my own events in North Carolina, but I am also a mom of a cancer survivor. And a grandma of a precious little girl who is donating her hair on September 30th at this event. During the pandemic, donations have been down sharply, which is a big deal since the St. Baldrick’s Foundation is the largest non-government supporter of childhood cancer research grants. I want more research to save lives. Please support me with a donation. Thank you!
