I am very excited to be participating in the Young Heroes Car Parade on Sept. 26, 2021 to raise funds for the Nemours Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (NCCBD) at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. Sadly, cancer and blood disorders touches so many children’s lives. Charlie, one of my great-nephews, is one of those children who experienced life threatening blood clots. Thankfully, due to care from Nemours, he is home on medication so he can play and attend school.
These little heroes endure grueling treatments and many days in the hospital. Some miss many of childhood's little joys like playing on the swings, watching movies on the couch with their siblings, and even spending the holidays in the comfort of their own home. My hope is that we will find cures and better treatments so they can live long and healthy lives. I believe every child deserves the chance of a healthy future.
Please join me in that fight. My goal is $300 but I want to surpass that and I can only do that with your help! Your gift helps Nemours provide unsurpassed care, pioneer new treatments and find life-saving cures for children. Please consider making a donation today and making a difference in children's lives now—and for lifetimes to come.
