Hello everyone!

On August 24, I will participate in my second sprint triathlon raising money for Lurie Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. We are fundraising to support the pioneering breakthroughs that result in the highest cure rates and improved quality of life for children. Ranked among the top programs in the country, the Center is recognized for its clinical and scientific expertise and the breadth and quality of its services. Your contribution will help defeat childhood cancer.

Please consider helping me and my team reach our goal in support of the patients and families at Lurie Children’s.

Here’s how your donations can make a difference:

$50 could provide educational resources to help patients and families understand a new diagnosis, the different aspects of treatment and changes they will experience.

$100 can offset the cost of genetic counseling and testing services for pediatric oncology patients and families at risk of hereditary cancer syndromes.

$250 can support the banking of valuable tumor tissue specimens that allow researchers to gain insight into different cancers at all stages.

$500 supports clinical trials to help discover new or more effective treatment options

$1000 will allow us to continue to develop future specialists in the field of pediatric oncology through our fellowship training program.

All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Lurie Children’s Foundation.

On behalf of the patients and families of Lurie Children’s, thank you so much for your support!
