Welcome to our August e-newsletter.

Whether it's 3-year-old twin girls who both are battling leukemia, or the more than 200 childhood cancer survivors who gathered for the recent Kids With Courage reunion, the personal stories this month are ones of tremendous courage and hope. 
 
And the stories of Anne, Ann, Ryan and Anne show remarkable dedication and compassion as they work to make a difference in the lives of others affected by cancer.
 
If you've ever wondered how you can make a difference, consider attending one of the upcoming special events.
