Chance was diagnosed with Supratentorial Anaplastic Ependymoma on 6/21/17 at age 2. He is still fighting, and I hope to make him proud by running this race for him! https://www.facebook.com/ChanceOsborneStrong/
All proceeds from my site will ensure that the Children's Minnesota Cancer Kids Fund continues helping families navigate the challenges resulting from cancer or blood disorders.
Beyond providing the very best medical care, there are many services and amenities that provide extra care and comfort to kids and families in the midst of a cancer or blood disorders journey. These special services are made possible in large part through the Cancer Kids Fund. Here are some of the special ways that the Cancer Kids Fund may help make a family’s journey at Children’s a little easier.

Ensuring specialists like nutritionists, psychologists and care coordinators are part of each child’s medical team
Supporting complementary medical services like aromatherapy and massage therapy
Arranging visits from special guests like the Zoomobile and the Science Museum of Minnesota and special celebrations like end-of-therapy parties
Offering a variety of art supplies, toys and games for patients of all ages
The Cancer Kids Fund supports families by…
Ensuring the services of chaplains, child life specialists, interpreters and social workers are readily available to all families
Providing parking vouchers to help ease stress during visits
Offering complimentary support services like our sibling play area and family resource center
