Two Great Ways to Help the Cause!
We've just learned of two great awareness and fundraising events that can help the pediatric cancer community as well as adults with brain tumors and sarcoma.
1. Support the Track-A-Thon for the National Brain Tumor Foundation at Chantilly High School on March 27th. Click on the flyer for details:
2. Please vote daily for the ~ Nick & Friends NASCAR Car ~ Only 9 days left to vote!
Please remember to vote today, tomorrow, and every day for the next 10 days. Vote
from your computer at work, vote from every computer you have at home, ask your
co-workers to vote, ask your neighbors to vote, ask everyone you see to vote. We need all the help we can get.
Some have asked about the design, so here is a description of the car:
Each ribbon has a name of a sarcoma warrior. There are over 500 names on this car,
There are over 500 personal interest stories on this car. Some warriors have won their battle with this beast and are in remission. Some have relapsed and have to fight this beast again. Some have just started their fight, And some fought the battle of their lifetime; however they earned their wings and are now at peace.
