A Beautiful Future of Life Lived; Not A Life Lost. It brought tears to my eyes but it also gave me a sense of hope. I was encouraged by a parent’s story and how they have coped and what they hope to change. It was heartbreaking and yet inspiring.

theres alot of good posts and hard to pick a favorite but probably reading Every Dollar counts toward a cure, and I think someday there will be a cure, I just hope its in our life time and no one else will die waiting,
thanks for the contest

I read the article, Partners in Eradicating Pediatric Blood Cancer. They’ve raised almost one million in the past several years but I think more needs to be raised. In times like these it’s harder to raise the money but it’s well worth it.

Every Dollar Counts Toward a Cure, because you’re raising money to support this cause.

The post “A Beautiful Future of Life Lived; Not A Life Lost” was my favorite. I thought it was sweet that the baby brother still celebrates his older brothers birthday.

Every Dollar Counts Toward A Cure. It was inspiring to know that the funds are used properly and you can make a difference.

The importance of pediatric cancer research struck a cord with me. so many children needing hope and love and life. You have done an excellent job with increasing the awareness.

My favorite post was A Beautiful Future of Life Lived; Not A Life Lost it touched me deeply so much so that I had to stop several times. Sean is amazing to be able to translate such a loss into a beautiful thing. Thank you

my favorite post was Why Pediatric Cancer Research is important…I don’t think the majority of society really think about all the research that is necessary to progress in medicine.
#60 written by bndraldy 3 years ago

The post titled Pediatric Cancer Research really touched me. I always cry when the have the shows on pediatric cancer on TV and did the same with this article. It is so unfair for these innocent children to be living (and dying)with this brutal and devastating disease.
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this contest.

I think my fave post was Every Dollar Counts Toward a Cure!
It was a reminder to all that even the smallest donation can help in finding a cure. I also enjoyed seeing the detailed list of exactly what the donation are used for.

The Story about Matthew was beautiful

My favorite was Every Dollar Counts Towards a Cure because that is so true.
#64 written by kristen 3 years ago

I loved “every dollar counts toward a cure” because sometimes people think “well my dollar wont help much” but the blog showed how much is needed for what and it shows that YOUR dollar does help alot and that your dollar isn’t “as small” as you think it is !!
#65 written by K. Cleaver 3 years ago

I liked the Pediatric Cancer Research – Why Is It Important? I didn’t know much about it until I found your blog.
#66 written by Chrysa 3 years ago

I would say that Light The Night for Blood Cancers is my favorite because I think it is a great event to raise awareness and funds and I hadn’t heard about it until this post.

A Beautiful Future of Life Lived; Not A Life Lost
I think the parents role in educating people of childhood cancers is instumental. One parent can make a difference.
#71 written by Jean 3 years ago

The pediatric cancer research post is both touching and motivating to continue the search for a cure. All of these posts are so important. Thank you for raising awareness!
#72 written by Susanne Troop 3 years ago

Not a Life Lost was my favorite article … it was very touching!
#73 written by Kristen Hendricks 3 years ago

My favorite post was Pediatric Cancer Research-Why Is It Important? I liked this post because I realize how important it is to try to find a cure for cancer. It’s not fair that young innocent children suffer from this terrible disease. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks for the opportunity and I think your cause is a very noble one.

A Beautiful Future of Life Lived; Not A Life Lost had me crying. I thought it was sweet that Christ puts an extra candle on Matthew’s cake every year for his birthday. It breaks my heart that Matthew is no longer with them.
#75 written by Dddiva 3 years ago

Pediatric Cancer as it is near and dear to my heart- my brother’s oldest daughter had cancer before she was a year old and spent so much time getting the help she needed- without the research she probably would not have made it.
#76 written by Helen 3 years ago

The personal story by Sean Haines about his son, Matthew!
#77 written by Denise 3 years ago

The story regarding research on pediatric cancer was my favorite post of the week. The subject is greatly important and is worthy of the space devoted to it by the blog. Also, it’s a moving post.

Not a Life Lost…
#79 written by Carrie 3 years ago

I loved the post by Sean. How they took their pain and turned it into something positive was amazing!
