February 2016 - First off, THANK YOU to all of our donors for making our "15 for 15 in '15" campaign for the Georgia and the Peachy Keens Hero Fund a HUGE success! With your help, we raised over $50,000, and combined with our previous fundraising since 2010, we were able to fund a research grant - in our first year! We never dreamed we could get so far so fast, but thanks to you, we did! Dr. Corinne Summers is making a difference for kids like Georgia who are fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, and it feels incredible to be a small part of that. You can find out more about her research on our Hero Fund page.
Speaking of heroes, our girl is truly a SUPER one! She just turned 16 and is nearing her 4th year off treatment, all of which we are so grateful for. She is swimming, reading, and making art in any spare moment, and her hard work in school is evident in the number of letters she's started receiving from ... gulp! ... colleges! We're looking forward to dreaming big over the next two years and watching where her bright mind and beautiful heart lead her.
We desperately want all families with kids fighting cancer to be able to dream those big dreams, too - and we're doing everything we can to make the biggest one come true. Please join us in our efforts to conquer childhood cancer - donate, shave, or host your own event. We can do this!
