Cancer doesn't fight fair at any age, but it is particularly devastating for children. Substantial progress has been made against some types of pediatric cancers, boosting survival for those cancers. However, there are still several types of kids' cancers with low survival rates or no known cure. Local mother of a childhood cancer survivor, Ashley Martinez has become a Champion for Childhood Cancer through the American Cancer Society's #GoldTogther initiative. Her son, Lucas is a survivor because of childhood cancer research!
That's why this September we are fighting back in our community! Join us for a dinosaur themed day dedicated to raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. Fun activities include a family fun run/walk, dino themed kids’ crafts, dino dig area, big trucks, police cars and fire truck, vendors, ice cream and more!
