Help Challenge Deliver More Smiles!
In September 2002, my husband Danny and I heard the shattering news that our beloved Daniel, only six years old, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The words that a parent should never hear.
A brave fight began, filled with love and humour as this was Daniel's way, with Challenge supporting us along the way.
Challenge, a non-profit for children and their families living with cancer, supported us every step as we grappled with the impact of a cancer diagnosis. Life had changed immediately, and it took a toll on every family member. Whether it was home help, a friendly face in the hospital to hold our hand, a parent retreat or a camp for kids, Challenge was always there.
Despite chemotherapy, radiation, bone marrow transplants and many other treatments, Daniel passed away in 2006. Since then, I have volunteered with Challenge to honour our beautiful boy.
Along the journey, in good times and bad, my best friend - Josie - has always been by my side. Josie and I are both mothers and cancer survivors. I beat cancer 12 years ago, and Josie will soon celebrate 25 years since her diagnosis. Josie is also a proud Challenge volunteer.
To commemorate Josie's anniversary and honour Daniel, we want to raise $50,000 for Challenge! They understood our needs, providing services and programs that went above and beyond anything you could imagine.
Please support Josie and me - Besties Go Bald - as we shave our heads to raise much-needed funds for Challenge - a fantastic charity that we hold close to our hearts.
Thank you to my Sponsors
