March 19, 2010, will be the 4th year that St. Baldrick's will be held in Douglas County. This year at the Douglas County Event's Center. As a Community, we have raised over $250,000 to assist in scientific research for new cures to combat cancer. We have all experienced a loss or have been touched by cancer whether from family, or knowing someone with cancer. It is our responsibility to assist our researcher's in curing this disease. It is time to put a stop to debilitating chemotherapy treatments and replace it with less harmful medicine. Our children need to spend their time outside rather than growing up in a hospital bed. Please take time to read about this organization and the wonderful things they do for the children who have fought and are fighting for their lives. Worldwide, 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year and cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. "Each day, families of kids with cancer tell us a cure is not enough. These grants will not only help save lives, but will improve the quality of life for patients and survivors.
