September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

If you are like me you don't know anything about childhood cancer until your family is hit hard with it.  As you know my son was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on his third birthday.  Up until that point I had no idea the pain, trauma, and side effects that our children expeience when they are diagnosed with cancer.  To make matters worse they are children who haven't even had a chance to expeirence life yet they must instantly grow up and learn things that no child should ever know.  Unfortunately it is the world we live in.  Sadly though there hasn't been a new drug developed for over 20 years to help fight childhood cancer.

So I am pleading for your help to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer.  Visit Beads of Hope® to purchase our jewelry, we donate a portion of all proceeds to childhood cancer research, or check out our childhood cancer resources page there are some great organizations that we have dealt with that. You can even donate to your local children's hospital.  I am sure they have  a cancer center where children are involved in clinical studies.  I know Jakob did his part by being involved in a clinical study.  One way or another we need to raise more money for research.

If we band together as a nation we can tell the world we want to put an end to this horrible disease so no child will have to suffer from cancer.  

Make sure you are watching this blog there is an awesome sale that is coming up next month in honor of childhood cancer awareness month.

Until next time,
