Family Fun Supporting Reaching for the Cure - Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation 10K 5K 1K

Join the Support of Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation

 
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work and the Dream is to Cure Caner.
 
In 2007, while I was pregnant with my own daughter, my nephew was born with stage 4 glioblastoma multiforme" aka a super aggressive brain tumor cancer.
 
This is near and dear to my heart and I always support any and all charities and or fundraising efforts with cancer, pediatric cancer and the research to find a cure of.
 
George is now 11.5 and in remission since he was about 3 but has a long road ahead of him still. He is in a wheelchair and needs care full time. He lights up when he sees and hears family come into the room and knows how to give the tightest hugs filled with the emotions he is not verbally able to say.
 
We are grateful for the Doctors wisdom and for George being here today. He is our miracle and our humbling grace.
