Nothing can prepare you for the words “your child has cancer.” It’s not natural, it’s not fair, but it is real. Children do get cancer and a family’s life is turned upside down. The numbers add up so quickly – about 500 children each month are treated at the ASK Pediatric Hematology/Oncology clinic in Richmond, VA. Each one of them, along with their families, needs help dealing with the complex and stressful issues of cancer treatment. Fortunately, a network of support is already waiting for them through ASK.We are pleased to be a proud sponsor of Family Fun Day. Tots On the Go has put together a wonderful event for Saturday, September 26th. There will be activities for kids, a silent auction, and proceeds will benefit ASK. The mission of ASK is “Making Life Better for Children with Cancer.” What began as a few small changes slowly grew into an extraordinary organization that has expanded its programs and services to meet the needs of children and families. ASK steps in at the time of diagnosis to help the family deal with the non-clinical side of what’s happening. While the hospital and medical staff focus on the treatment, ASK works to provide the children and their families with the quality-of-life support they need.
If you are free on the 26th, we hope to see you at this great event.
