Kyler’s Story

But Kyler doesn’t need sports equipment to have fun outside; he is just as happy “digging in the dirt.” This energetic, resilient, strong-willed […]

Just the word sends fear coursing through our veins. Why does my child have cancer? What did my child do to deserve this? What did I do to deserve this? Why our family?

It started in the summer of 2012 when Emily began having headaches, dizziness, and spells of double vision. I remember receiving a phone call that […]
