Raising money for pediatric cancer, or any cancer for that matter, has been near and dear to my heart since the year 2000, when my TJU friend's brother, Emmaus High School student Andrew Butler, passed away from Neuroblastoma. It became my mission to fight against this awful disease head on, becoming Race Director for the Race for Andrew 5k to raise money. With the support of his family and our team from the TJU Physical Therapy Class of 2001, together we raised $32,000 towards neuroblastoma research donated to CHOP in his name. In the past 18 years, I have been blessed to work with children with many kinds of pediatric cancer in my job as a Physical Therapist and be part of fundraising activities. This time around in 2019, shaving my head is the least I can do to raise money for childhood cancer research. I am thankful for this opportunity and if you would be willing to support the cause and these amazing kids, I will be forever grateful. Please consider donating, if you are able.
