I am very proud of a choice my husband has made. He is participating in this years St. Baldrick's Foundation fundraiser at Helen Fitzgerald's Irish Pub on March 5 at noon.
I was introduced to this by a friend of mine, Kierstin. Their neighbors, the Long Family lost their son Charlie to neuroblastoma. He was diagnosed April 2004 and passed away September 2006. For two years Dave and I have donated to her husband's participation of this event. Last year after the event I mentioned to Dave about it and he was on board.
Not only did Charlie's fight touch me, but the fight of my cousins' son Gryphon touches me every day. I can't imagine what goes through Heidi and Tom's mind if he gets sick, or what they went through while he was getting treatment. But I know because of this foundation medical teams throughout the US are able to discover new ways to help fight this disease.
Currently one of my best friend's nephew is undergoing experimental treatment for his battle against neurofibromatosis and neuroblastoma. He is currently being treated by the National Cancer Institute Pediatric Oncology Center in Bethesda Maryland because here in St. Louis they have tried all the treatments that are available for him.
So if you could find it in your heart to help out this wonderful foundation, please go to Dave's page to donate. You can also click on the picture of the 3 boys (to the right) to go to Dave's page.

Every little bit will help him reach his goal, and it would be great for him to exceed it. Dave has a great heart and by him doing this shows it even more, not only is he honoring Charlie's life buy participating, he is supporting the medical field in finding a cure for Cameron as well as celebrating Gryphon's strength and triumph over his battle with cancer.
