THE KIDS WE FIGHT FOR
Childhood cancer does not have reason in mind when it attacks. 46 chidren a DAY are diagnosed with cancer in our country, yet it receives less funding than any other childhood disease. Each year we share local stories to help everyone understand that this is your battle too. It's happening all around us every day. We also do all that we can to help our families and bring some light into their lives during some often dark times. IF YOU LOVE A CHILD THAN CHILDHOOD CANCER IS YOUR PROBLEM. DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT CREEPS INTO YOUR LIFE TO FIGHT.

Lilly was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma when she was only months old. She endured many chemo treatments and surgeries all before she was a year old. Today Lilly is cancer free and shines her bright light anywhere she can. Her and her mother, Trish, fight tirelessly for the children still stuck behind the glass fighting cancer. Her determination, heart, and purness of her little soul inspires us every day to give back.

Owen was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma in late 2015. He is undergoing agressive treatments to attack the cancer. Him and his momma have to spend a lot of time in the hospital, but that doesn't get Mr. Owen down. His sweet smile reminds us every day that our lives are what we make them. We are in charge of finding light in the darkness. Owen dreams of being on TV and we are working on doing everything we can to make that happen for him! He is going to help us tell everyone to "Listen up! You have to get involved! You have to help!" Owen, you're such a little warrior. Punch cancer in the face little man! If you would like to help donate to Owen and his family please see the link below.

Kyler, you have witnessed a miracle... so many are fighting against childhood cancer because of YOU. Never give up! #kylerstrong
