We need your HELP!!!
I am calling all Little Air Bear supporters. Please come be part of the CURE for childhood cancer. If you have been touched by Erin and her cancer buddies, if you have learned from their strength and courage, if you have read this blog and wondered how you can help...this is your chance!
These kids didn't ask to get cancer and they certainly don't deserve all the pain and suffering that goes along with it. They are too young to speak for themselves. We need to be their advocates, and their voices. We may not be able to take away their pain, but together we can help them to have the chance at a better life and better cure.
Here's what you need to do...
There are many ways you can help our family make this fundraiser a HUGE success.

What to know why
I'm so passionate about CureSearch?
CureSearch funds the Children's Oncology Group (or COG), the world's largest children's cancer research collaborative. Primary Children's Medical Center is a COG hospital (meaning that some of the Oncology staff and Doctors participate in childhood cancer research).
We have participated firsthand in research done by the COG. When Erin was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, she was enrolled in a research study for a new chemotherapy drug for AML treatment. CureSearch gave money to researchers who worked DIRECTLY with my own child! This special group of medical professionals are trying to find better treatment plans for our kids, less side effects, and ultimately a CURE to childhood cancer.
Many cancer foundations only donate 72% - 75%* of their proceeds towards cancer research and give a VERY SMALL** amount of their donations to CHILDHOOD cancer research.
CureSearch gives 95% of donations to cancer research!
100% of that goes to
CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH!
This is why we feel CureSearch is the best choice for us.

*The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society gives 75% towards cancer research but less than 4% towards childhood cancer. The American Cancer Society (Relay for Life) gives 72% of donations to cancer research but only 3% of that goes to childhood cancer research.
Thank you for your support!
We are honored to have such wonderful friends and family surrounding us.
