Our story…

Team Hattie’s Heroes is back!

My mom Hattie lost her battle with cancer a very young age of 52.

It saddens me to know my children, Steven and Lindsay, along with her other grandchildren, didn't have the opportunity to know what a wonderful mother and grandmother she would have been. It is a bittersweet moment when our now great-grandchildren come into our lives and we realize they will not have the warm, caring arms of Hattie to hold them tight. All of the great-grandchildren in her life would be so fortunate to have her with us.

THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT!

Our team name is Hattie's Heroes...after my mom. This is our 12th year as a Hattie's Heroes team, and last year we were able to raise over $20,000.00!

This year we are doing something different.  When we learned only 4% of  research is applied to pediatric cancer, we knew Hattie’s Heroes had to help.  Members of our family have been impacted by pediatric cancer and we are so fortunate to have them in our lives.  

Not everyone is as fortunate.

This would have meant so much to my mom. I know she is smiling at the idea of making this world a better place. The thought of making her proud through contributing to this important cause keeps us motivated!
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts. If you have a matching gift program with your company, please be sure to submit using our team name (Hattie's Heroes- Renee Spero captain) so we can double the amount raised!

It takes a village to make this happen!
I truly thank you in advance- I long for the day when we can look back and say no other mom or child was lost due to this terrible disease.

In honor of Hattie.
