United StatesThis year the Barber Gang is fighting back! Dorrie's granddaughter, Ruby Elbert, was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 4 months and her cancer recurred when she was three-years old, just before her brother Ethan was born. Surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplants, biological therapy... she's been through it all and through it all, Ruby has proven to be a fighter. But the truth is that she is also just plain lucky. Most kids with aggressive, high-stage cancers don't survive.
So this year, we want to make a real difference and the best way to do that is to fund medical research to better understand the diseases and find better ways to treat pediatric cancer. We need more effective treatments, we need less toxic treatments, we need more access to treatments and we need it fast. Children are suffering and children are dying.
So come have some lemonade at the beach and help make a difference!
