An update on Liam, the inspiration for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer
As many of you know, our Brave Prince Liam returned to battle this summer - facing first a high-dose round of chemo, followed yesterday by a long, intense surgery. Liam is the reason for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. As if the horrific diagnosis of pediatric cancer wasn’t enough, his mom and dad found the statistics of pediatric cancer unacceptable. There are too few treatment options, too many damaging side-effects, and too little funding to support treatments that are ready and waiting for all pediatric cancer warriors.
Earlier this week, Liam’s mommy Gretchen wrote in an email, “It’s not a lack of knowledge that’s holding us back which, as a parent, is the most frustrating part. It’s a lack of awareness which leads to a lack of funding.”
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is about raising awareness and raising funding. We’re here to move the needle, move the ball forward, move any of you out there to join our movement to change the scary statistics of pediatric cancer for the better, forever.
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is not about one kid or one kind of cancer. But it is about one source of inspiration - Liam. If you are interested in following Liam’s progress, we invite you to stay updated through our Facebook fan page or the family blog: www.princeliamthebrave.blogspot.com.
