My Story…
Four years ago when I was earning my Bronze Award for Girl Scouts, my troop decided that we wanted to help kids with cancer. We found Compass to Care and decided to earn money for them! Helping kids with cancer is important to me because I always think it is unfair that children, just like me, have to deal with cancer, one of the worst challenges a person could face in their life. I support Compass to Care because this gives these fighters a chance to have a wonderful life like I have, and to not worry about surviving on a daily basis. I have tried to run the race every year, but this year I wanted to go the extra mile... I wanted to raise money for the organization.
Description
I am participating in the Compass to Care's Annual 5K for Kids with Cancer virtual race on September 18th. I have decided to GO THE EXTRA MILE and raise funds to help more children travel for cancer treatment and I need your help!
Did you know that one in three children diagnosed with cancer must travel at least 60 miles to access cancer treatment? And while we have been social distancing, these children have continued in their fight against cancer because treatment cannot stop- even amid a pandemic.
For many many parents, paying for these trips to and from cancer treatment can become too much to handle. That is why I am going the extra mile. I am raising funds so I can help these children travel as many miles as necessary to fight for a cure from cancer.
I ask you to please donate to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together we can help kids fight cancer, one mile, one trip, one life at a time.
I encourage you to visit www.CompassToCare.org to learn more about how your support makes a difference for our youngest cancer fighters.
