This is a link to a friend's webpage which was about her daughter's fight (successfully) with a very deadly form of children's cancer. She now volunteers to help other families. There is a wonderful new fundraiser for the holiday season that, because nearly all the supplies have been donated, will result in your purchase price going nearly 100 percent to the research for a cure.
http://www.caringbridge.org/va/carolyncoveney/ Carolyn is my former coworker who, with the help the guild sick leave bank which I chair and donations of leave from generous colleagues, was able to take a year from work to shuttle her daughter between DC and NYC to win a truly frightening battle. Many of the other children who they came to know were not so fortunate.
Please read her page follow the links she has posted for the fundraiser and help if you can.
