Today is a local dog walk, Paws for a Cure, the walk raises money for Cure Search, the world’s largest childhood cancer research organization which brings together the Children’s Oncology Group and the National Childhood Cancer Foundation. This is a personal fund raiser for me organized in my area by my dear friends Sharon and Rob whose oldest daughter Sarah died of cancer 5 years ago at the age of 12 after battling the disease for 7 years. CureSearch is a relatively new organization providing assistance and information for parents. When Sarha was sick there was a great deal of information on the web about cancer, but children’s cancer is different than adult so in order to find to information about a child’s particular type was harder to find. Sarah was a blessing to all whose lives she touched, we love you Sarah. You can see a picture of Sarah here, at Alex’s Lemonade Stand website, Sarah and Alex knew one another, they and their familes were connected through CHOP, Sharon and Rob are active with Alex’s Lemonade Stand as well. If you care to make a donation to help fight childhood cancer.
