My husband, sister, parents and many extended family members have lived and persevered through treatment yet died due to Cancer. Thankfully it never struck my children or any other child in my immediate family. As a parent, I can’t imagine anything worse than having your child face a cancer diagnosis. The value that the Childhood Cancer Foundation brings to our children, families, and community is priceless, and I am thankful to play a role”.
