Q. How do you feel when you see a person or business supporting children’s cancer research?
A. Honestly, it warms my heart to see literally anyone supporting childhood cancer research – the more support the better!
Q. What would you tell someone who didn’t feel like their support of #MakeItGoldForKids would make a difference?
A. Any help or support someone can give to #MakeItGoldForKids will have a major positive impact, no matter how big or small. It’s a chain reaction that will continue to grow.
What are you planning to do to #MakeItGoldForKids this September?
A. I plan to get as many people as I can to become aware of childhood cancer. I would like to get as many people as possible to join our CureSearch Walk in September!
