Join the Support of Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation

 
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work and the Dream is to Cure Caner.
 
In 2007, while I was pregnant with my own daughter, my nephew was born with stage 4 glioblastoma multiforme" aka a super aggressive brain tumor cancer.
 
This is near and dear to my heart and I always support any and all charities and or fundraising efforts with cancer, pediatric cancer and the research to find a cure of.
 
George is now 11.5 and in remission since he was about 3 but has a long road ahead of him still. He is in a wheelchair and needs care full time. He lights up when he sees and hears family come into the room and knows how to give the tightest hugs filled with the emotions he is not verbally able to say.
 
We are grateful for the Doctors wisdom and for George being here today. He is our miracle and our humbling grace.

Knott's Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

We Love +Knott's Berry Farm but we adore them when they go PINK!

Going Pink for Breast Cancer awareness is not only just "Joe Cool" but it really hits home to a lot of us so it is just simply special!

We have had cancer in our family and we have had dear friends and family fight, win and lose against Breast Cancer. It is a tough fight for anyone and everyone that has to watch someone go through it. 

We are blessed with a community that cares. Since Knott's always does their part to give back they are once again running their Knott's Pink promotion. You can get all the details HERE but here are some of the highlights:

* Now through March 18, Knott’s Berry Farm and Susan G. Komen Orange County are working together for the third year to raise money for breast cancer awareness, services and research by offering special “Pink Tickets” and commemorative Knott's for the Cure t-shirts.

* 75% of the funds raised for Susan G. Komen are used to provide local services throughout Orange County:

• * Breast cancer detection and treatment education
• * Information and support for breast cancer survivors and families
• * Funding for free mammograms for uninsured and underserved women

* 25% of the funds raised for Susan G. Komen support national research to discover the cure for breast cancer.

* Special Merchandise is adorable too!
