This month we thought we’d try something a little different. Instead of us choosing a monthly focus, we figured we’d let you (the winner) choose a charity of your own choosing!
For the month of April our winner selected to donate our monthly proceeds to a very special child in need.
It's every parent's worst nightmare: a trip to the hopital for their 3 year old son's stomach mass being discovered eventually resulting in a diagnosis of Pediatric Wilms Tumor (Nephroblastoma)- which is a form of kidney cancer.
Jack had to be admitted to the Pediatric Oncology Division at Golisano Children's Hospital which cares for children with cancer. A CT scan confirmed the doctors assumption; Jack has Pediatric Wilms Tumor (Nephroblastoma). This type of cancer requires high-level surgical expertise to treat. Jamie and Cortlyn wait patiently for the doctors to determine a treatment plan. Typically, treatment is initial surgery followed by 9-12 weeks of chemotherapy. However, Jack falls into the small portion of 5-10% of patients, that have tumors and cancer in both kidneys.
The GoFund me page below details Jack’s journey and is the charity of choice selected by April’s Give Back Winner!
