This is the 3rd year that Team MADlove will participate in the ASK 5k and Fun Run!  Shortly after Molly turned 6, she complained of stomach pain which caused us to end up at the pediatrician's office.  From there, we went to the ER at VCU and she was immediately admitted.  Molly had surgery to remove a kidney and the Wilm's tumor within 48 hours of diagnosis.  This organization is near and dear to all of us because of the support that they provide to our family.  ASK was there from the moment Molly was diagnosed with a Wilm's Tumor and they are still helping us to this day.  No parent ever wants to hear scary news about their child's health but ASK helped us navigate the cancer journey.  

Thankfully, Molly is now considered cancer-free.  She goes to "Survivor's Clinic" to see her Oncologist and Social Worker every three months She still goes to Children's Hospital for things like Echocardiograms and Abdominal Ultrasounds on a regular basis.

This walk has turned into an event that our family looks forward to!  We all like watching the donations come in and we also enjoy trying to meet some of the challenges that ASK puts out there.  Last year we raised just over $7,000!  This year we hope to have one of the biggest teams and we also hope to raise even more money than we did last year!
