11 years ago, I heard the words your son has cancer. He was 4. It was the scariest thing I've ever had to handle as a parent. I am extremely happy to say I have an amazing 15 year old! 

3 years ago, my brother and sister-in-law found out my niece has a brain tumor. She was 4 at the time. Our whole family was crushed but she is receiving treatments at the same facility that treated my son. She is 7 now and is one of our little spitfires. 

These two have been side by side since she was born. When we found out, my son immediately jumped into a caring cousin role (as if he wasn't before).

I started this team for both of them. No family should have to hear this diagnosis not once but twice at the same age. They share the same initals so please for our SRWs, consider walking, running, cycling or simply help donate. 

This September, I plan to fight childhood cancer, one mile at a time by participating in The Million Mile! Help us move one step closer to finding cures for all kids with cancer by donating or joining my team. Thank you for your support during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
