| The following links are for businesses and non-profit groups that deserve your attention and disposable income. These are companies and organizations that truly give money to pediatric cancer. Ours is a fight against time and odds. All too often, children fall between the cracks of society - as we adults fight for ourselves. The following groups have dedicated themselves to fighting for children. They are to be admired. |
| Give blood...Give life! |
| This is our hospital. There is so much you can do from here! You can send e-cards to patients by 1) go to Patient & Family Resources, 2) Staying at Children's, 3) Send a Greeting card. If you want to give to Pediatric cancer go to the "Giving" or "What Can I do?" sections and look for Circle of Friends. Your dollars will actually go to pediatric cancer research, not adult research, not frivolous advertising. I have good friends on the governing board. I trust these friends with my heart and my family... my money is nothing compared with that. Once we're out of this nightmare, I can guarantee you I'll be one of those volunteers. I'm in this fight forever. |
