Where
Delaney aka Laney Bug is a childhood cancer Warrior herself . This will be her 3rd lemonade stand to raise funds for Pediatric Brain Cancer research . When Laney was two years old she was diagnosed with a Brain tumor in her c-spine called Pilomyxiod astrocytoma. Laney endured 5 surgeries, two chemo regiments that failed her and 25 rounds of radiation all within a 3 yr span . We are happy to say as of this year we finally got the results of No evidence of disease and her Tumor is gone ! As happy and amazing as that news is we know that the fight is not over not for us and nor for our friends . Treatment is harsh and our options are limited . Only 4 percent of national funding goes towards Pediatric cancer and Brain cancer gets jus a sliver of that . Brain cancer is the leading cause of Childhood Cancer related deaths yet nothing has changed in the past 20 year .
This year we want our funds to go to Brain cancer Research again but this year specifically towards DIPG/DMG research in honor of our sweet friend Kallie Dickens who lost her life to DMG at the age of 4 yrs old . DIPG/DMG is a Brain cancer that is inopperable and there is no cure . Most patients are given a possible 9 months grace to live . Typical Treatment Protocol for DIPG/DMG is to throw radiation at it and then send you home to make memories . Could you imagine to not only be blind sided that your child has Cancer but there's no treatment, there's no option, you should take your baby home and make memories while you can . This is not acceptable and something has to be done ! We know if we can find a cure for DIPG /DMG we can find a cure for all childhood cancers !
Come out and support Laney Bug in honoring Kallie and all the of the childhood cancer Warrior's and Angels !
