My Story

This past September, our beautiful Hannah Rose went to be with the angels, a beautiful soul taken much too soon. She was diagnosed with brain cancer in Oct 2012 and fought a courageous battle until she went home to heaven on September 26, 2013 at the age of 14. I want to share a little bit about Hannah because her story is not just one about cancer, it's about courage… Hannah was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor on October 5th, 2012. Two weeks after brain surgery, not only was she back on the soccer field, but she scored the winning goal in double overtime for her middle school team. It was at that moment that "Duffy's Tuffys" were born and she showed the world that no matter what life throws at you, give it your best and NEVER EVER GIVE UP. Hannah's spontaneous nature, kind soul and contagious laugh are what are missed most. Her spirit and her positive attitude in the worst of times have brought out the best in so many people. She asked us to always keep her close to our hearts, to never forget her. And, she asked us to continue to fight for a cure so that no other mother has to say goodbye to their child. On the night Hannah died, I said these words..."live with no regrets, love with compassion, be kind, and never ever give up that fighting spirit"... If you live those simple words, you will honor our beautiful Hannah because that is how she lived her life… Please help us to continue the fight for a cure in Hannah's memory. Pediatric cancer research is extremely underfunded and we need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
