Giving to others gives meaning to Haley's battle with cancer
Haley is only 7 years old, but she carries herself with a quiet strength and a calm self-assurance that seems far beyond her years.

After spending time with many families who have walked this journey, I can tell you the one thing that nearly every parent of a sick child has said: that the care and support of their friends and family during their difficult time made a world of difference to them. What you do to care for these families really does matter, and they will remember it for the rest of their lives.
