Our story…
My brother's Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma diagnosis in 2003 was one of the most shocking and earth-shattering news my family had ever received, especially since our father passed away only a year prior.
FJ was a young intelligent 13-year-old boy, excited to discover the world around him. However, God needed an angel and He called him home a few short months later. Perhaps he was always meant to keep our Dad company in heaven...
Today, I honor his courage, and every child battling pediatric cancer, by supporting Compass to Care as a volunteer member of the Board of Directors and its mission to help alleviate the immense challenge families face to receive life-saving treatment.
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.
