Hi!
Thank you so much for coming to my page and for your consideration of donating to childhood cancer research through the amazing organization that is St. Baldrick's.
Ten years ago, I had the honor and the privilege to participate in St. Baldrick's at my alma mater, St. John's University. It will forever be one of the most meaningful, magical days of my life. Because of that magic, I had vowed to do it again on my ten-year anniversary and here we are!
At that time, I felt called to do it, as I watched a friend fight so hard, yet lose his battle to brain cancer when he was just 21 years old. During that same time, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn’t know what to do and this felt like a way to turn such significant pain into purpose.
Fast forward 10 years…
I have been a Certified Child Life Specialist for six years. In this role, I see what these kids and families go through in a totally different light. So while this time around will be done with a different intent and purpose, the goal of getting closer to getting rid of childhood cancer will always be the same.
My current fundraising goal is $2,500, but I would love to surpass that so let's do it!!! THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH!
