Fighting childhood cancer, one cup at a time.
Have you ever been in the midst of experiencing stress and had someone say, “Just take a deep breath.” The goal of calming exercises is to get yourself from “flight, fight or freeze” mode back to “rest and digest” mode. Deep breathing helps get more oxygen into your bloodstream, opening up your capillaries. It has a physical effect on your body to help you calm down and lower stress.

Israel, Najma, Janoah and Ludmila were all amazing siblings to Ethan, who was diagnosed with ependymoma and sadly passed away in 2020. Their favorite activities were when they could all play together, whether it was building Legos or racing each other in Mario Kart.
Eleanor is the social butterfly of her family and an amazing SuperSib! She lives for playdates and park visits. When her older brother Thomas was diagnosed with cancer, she was not even 3 yet and had just welcomed a new baby sister, Madeline, into the world. Unfortunately, Eleanor also had to sacrifice some of her favorite activities.
Ayaan is a shy 4 year old who loves to comfort, play and wrestle with his older brother Kabir. He has plenty of wide-ranging interests too, from Legos to watching movies or pretending to be Batman. He even hopes to be a doctor or basketball player one day.
