I believe that too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

This is my first year training with Team Endure to Cure and I am very excited and proud. A close friend and I joined the team a few months ago having no idea how pediatric cancer would hit home for me like it did on April 16, 2010. My 10 year old niece, Hannah, was diagnosed with having a craniopharyngioma; a brain tumor near the pituitary gland. I am happy to say that she has undergone surgery and is doing great. She does have some side effects but is currently home with her family and new puppy dog! I will never forget seeing her in the hospital and all the other children struggling everyday. I am honored to be helping such a great cause and organization. Through all this I have been reminded that the smallest gesture of support and generosity go a long way in the eye’s of a child and their family. Please help me and the Endure to Cure team meet and exceed our goals. My personal goal is $1000. I thank you in advance for your generosity. Remember, every little bit helps.

“I love you, Hannah!! Keep smiling.”
