Dear Friends and Family,
After 14 years as a pediatrtic oncology nurse, I've held the hands of countless brave children and their families during their most challenging moments. I've witnessed miraculous recoveries made possible by cutting-edge research, and I've also seen how much more work we still need to do.
That's why I'm lacing up my running shoes for Cannonball Kids' Cancer runDisney--not just as a participant, but as someone who has seen firsthand how every research breakthrough can mean the difference between despair and hope for a family. Every day I witness how research funded by organizations like Canonball Kids' Cancer Foundation transforms statistics into success.
How You Can Be Part of This Fight
Your support doesn't just help me cross the finish line - it helps research cross the finish line toward cures.
- Make a Donation: Whether it's $1 or $100, every contribution goes directly to research that saves lives. Think of it as investing in a future where childhood cancer becomes increasingly rare.
- Amplify Our Impact: Share this with anyone who might care about this cause. Sometimes the person who makes the biggest difference is someone we never expected.
- Keep Us In Your Thoughts: Your encouragement means everything as I train for this race and work toward this goal.
Personal Note
This cause has become even more meaningful to me recently as I navigate some challenging personal changes. Focusing on something bigger than myself - something that can bring hope to families facing unimaginable difficulties- reminds me of what truly matters and keeps me moving forward.
When you support the CKC fundraiser, you're not just supporting research. You're supporting every family who will never have to hear the words "there's nothing more we can do." You're supoprting every child who will grow up to graduate, fall in love, and change the world.
Thank you for believing in this mission and standing with me. Together we're not just running a race - we're racing toward a future where every child has the chance to live their full, beautiful life.
With gratitude and determination,
Katy Holewinski, RN
Pediatric Oncology Nurse & Cannonball Kids' Cancer Fundraiser
