Fighting childhood cancer, one cup at a time.
Imagine that there is a tree called the “Hug Me” tree. It is so big and has so many branches that it can take away all your worries for you. Draw or write about any worries you might have and hang them on the branches. You can use the Hug Me tree at night to hang up your worries before you go to sleep...just picture it in your mind!

Toddy is 9 years old and an amazing athlete. He loves playing any sport, but he especially loves to teach his little brother William how to play.
