Hello,
My cancer story is very personal, since I lost my Mom to cancer last June. Her final moments were spent with three weeks in a hospice surrounded with caring people but a lot of fear and pain. She knew that she would pass away soon, even though we kept things very optimistic, until the pain got to be too much and she needed to be sedated. Imagine knowing that you're going to die? Imagine begging the doctors to do what they could to ease your Mother's pain? She was 76 years young... She was a proud grandmother who lived for her grandchildren. She tried to do all she could to keep us safe, we did what we could for her in her final hours. Her passing will always leave an empty void in our hearts. I hope that a child or their family never have to experience this fear and pain.
To help kids fighting cancer, I'm a volunteer with the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Please support me!

With head-shaving and other fundraising events, this volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U. S. government.
