Starry Night Walk with PBTF

Cancer mom warriors.  Some of these women have lost a child to a brain tumor, some are still fighting and some are trying to navigate a new normal on the other side of treatment.  No matter which category they fall in, these are some of the bravest, toughest women I know.  Women who have had to do and watch the unimaginable be done to their children, all with the hope of making them better.  I couldn't ask for better support than from this group who really knows.


Cancer can take away a lot of things, but it can't take away a good friend.

Simon lost his walking buddy when Jonah was offered the chance to ride in the pace car instead of walk.

Thank you to all who came out to support #teamjonahgoodall.  We love seeing your smiling faces and are forever grateful for your unending support.

I was given the opportunity to talk about why events like Starry Night matter.  The obvious reasons center around awareness building to support fundraising and fundraising to support a cure.  I talked about the less obvious reason - it is at events like this where, as a cancer family,  you feel fully supported.  You are surrounded by other cancer families who "get it" and you are also surrounded by dear friends who "get you".  There aren't many chances for those two communities to come together, but when they do, as a cancer family, you leave feeling better.

The blue represent children who have died due to a brain tumor, the yellow/orange are children living with brain tumors and the white are those who support us.  PBTF exists to try and prevent more blues and yellows.  If you'd like to help donate to the cause, it's not too late http://pbtf.convio.net/site/TR/2017StarryNight/General?team_id=14316&pg=team&fr_id=2918
