Our Impact
"When I was diagnosed four years ago, cancer entered the lives of not only my four-year-old, two-year-old and fourteen-month-old kids, but also into the lives of extended friends and family. It could have paralyzed us all...but all of us deserved better. Cancer wasn’t going to steal our hope and joy. This foundation was created to walk alongside our community to help keep, and in some places restore, that hope and joy.
Our practical ways of helping are possible with nights like our October fundraiser...a great honor to be a part of. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a community to fight this battle with cancer."
