As grandparents, we play a unique role when one of our beautiful grandchildren is diagnosed with this brutal disease. Not only do our hearts break for our grandchild, but it is our babies; our children who are the adults dealing directly with the doctors, chemotherapy, radiation, etc., and often looking to us for guidance, support and strength. As much as we wish we could, the reality is we cannot give then a hug and tell them it will be OK, because it is not OK, and the reality is that it may never be OK.
That is why we are volunteers with the St. Baldrick's Foundation and why we ask that any grandparents who are aware of this organization take a moment and donate.
Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. Click "Make a donation" to give online, or donate by phone or mail.
Finally, if you would like to become a volunteer, and assist us in getting the word to other grandparents, feel free to join our team and we can help make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
Thank you!
