Every day, there are almost 800 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. On November 14, 2024, Ellis joined that number and received her diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She is one of the estimated 300,000 new cases of cancer that affect children under the age of 20 each year worldwide. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded with less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month and our brave cancer child, Ellis Quinn, we pledge to walk 30 miles during the month of September. From barely being able to walk or go up stairs in December to now pledging to walk a mile every day for a month is such a huge feat for Ellie! She continues to amaze all of us with her strength, resiliency and tenacity, never allowing leukemia to bring her down. This girl fights back! Please consider donating today. The money you donate has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of kids with cancer (and their families) and will fund research into safer, more effective treatments and cures. Let's all work together to kick cancer's butt and "tug" for a cure.
