Hello all, and welcome to the Mackenzie’s Lucky Charms Team page. We are a group of family and friends that have come together to honor a wonderful little girl. Mackenzie is a strong and courageous little girl who has kicked cancer’s (Rhabdamayosarcoma) butt 3 times. Unfortunately it wasn’t a TKO and it came back for a 4th time (as Osteosarcoma) in August of 2012. After chemo and radiation, the doctors decided it would be best to remove the diseased bone and replace her hip with a prosthetic. Do you think that stopped her? NO WAY. She can still be found tearing around town with her walker and playing with her little sister and dogs. When Mackenzie is in remission, you can find her snow skiing or on the river with her friends and cousins. As everyone knows, Mackenzie is a River rat through and through. When we heard that the cancer had returned we, Mike & Rich, knew that we would be shaving our heads this year at the St. Baldrick’s event at Helen Fitzgerald’s on March 9th.
The St Baldrick’s Foundation began in 2000 as a challenge between friends to raise a “little” money for cancer research. Their goal the first year was $17,000, but they ended the day with over $104,000 in donations. Since then, the St Baldrick’s Foundation has grown into a worldwide phenomenon which has raised over $117 million all in the name of childhood cancer research and cures! Want to be a part of that phenomenon, we are asking for your support to reach our goal of $10,000 as a Team.
