My Story…
Hi!
This year I am participating in Walk for the Bear. Bear Necessities is a Chicagoland based non profit that supports pediatric cancer through their "Bear Hug" program. Throughout my caner journey almost 15 years ago I benefited from a Bear Hug experience to the American Girl Doll Store. I am walking to support this non profit that means so much to me and to give kids battling cancer the opportunity to enjoy a Bear Hug during their fight.
I thank you for any amount that is donated to this cause and I know the kids will apricate it too!
Description
Every two minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer.
That is why I have joined this year's A Walk for the Bear, in support of Bear Necessities mission to eliminate Pediatric Cancer & provide hope and support to those who are touched by it.
Your donation is more critical now than ever in helping to carry out this mission, and will allow Bear Necessities to:
- Provide unique and meaningful, albeit virtual or socially distant, Bear Hugs to kids with cancer;
- Support families who are undergoing financial stress through our Family Support Services Program; and
- Fund pediatric cancer research.
In this time of uncertainty, the ability to meet the needs of patients, their families, and their caregivers, is more important than ever.
Please donate to support these amazing kids and their families!
