Join us for Cure Search 2015

Cure Search Walk 2014 was very difficult to put into words, so at the time I just didn't write. The day was charged with a roller coaster of emotions! Natalia had decorated a poster in memory of our Edgar Trejo to give to his mother, and we made one in honor of Natalia Sofia, our survivor! Charlie Belcher called up parents of a child that lost their battle, and Natalia wheeled herself to the stage, and took a white rose to give to Claudia, Edgar's mom. Unbeknownst to his mom, Edgar had been collecting money, little by little for college, in a rice bag. His mother brought the heavy bag of coins to donate gift cards to the hospital for cancer families......WOW! What a powerful statement!! Our friend could barely carry the bag full of coins, as she almost toppled over! Seeing the support of not only the friends and family that walked alongside us, as we held our posters high, but seeing the community come together to BE A VOICE for the awareness of childhood cancer was an unforgettable experience. LOTS of tears..... Unfortunately, many are unaware of how poorly funded childhood cancer really is. Poor funds lead to no research, and consequently, NO CURE. The harsh adult treatments make it difficult for the children to survive......Many survive the cancer, but NOT the side effects, and many have chronic illnesses following their treatment. This year would you join us? We would LOVE to see you there! It is important to rally around and SUPPORT those of us who have been in the trenches fighting with this ugly disease, and raising awareness in the community! We will be joining the St. Joseph's Team, Chemosabes again this year! Unfortunately, this year we will have to add more names to our memorial posters. #curesearchwalk2015 #joinchemosabes #raiseawareness #unitedwetriumph #childhoodcancerawareness
