SAM’S MISSION “To help all the kids.” Sam wanted nothing more than to take the pain away from All the Kids in their fight. He was always concerned for the kids around him, more than himself. It was his mindset that we are founded on today.

It was our final promise to Sam to fight for All the Kids. We will continue to fight by providing comfort, support, awareness and research to pediatric cancer.

READ MORE

We are a 501(c)3 pediatric cancer foundation with a mission focused on raising awareness, funding research, and supporting families in the fight. We are determined to fight for All the Kids. Less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s funding supports our kids in the fight of their lives. Sam’s form of cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma, receives much less than 1%. Please join our mission to fight for All the Kids through research, comfort, support and awareness.

March 18th. The day after. 9 years ago. 9 years March 18th. The day after. 9 years ago. 

9 years ago yesterday is a day we will never forget. We were getting our lives back. We were determined. We were thankful. We were humbled. 

9 years ago now, I had allowed myself to finally take a deep breath, six months into Sam’s fight; what we thought would be his only fight. Scans were clear. 

But Sam was in pain. He didn’t feel well. But... it was just lasting pain from treatments, it would pass and begin getting better. 

Sam was weak from treatments and yet so powerfully strong. Strong in character, faith, and determination. 

This day, March 17, 2014, was the moonlight shining in the night before the storm. In coming days and weeks, the past nine years tell me, my mind will be filled with triggers of extreme joy, only to be knocked down with extreme pain. It’s the ultimate sucker punch. Relapse was looming. 

The signs were there. I think I knew all along, but refused to acknowledge it. I knew as we rang bells with our entire church, as we were talking to the cameras for Frontline for Hope, perhaps even as we were making these signs; but I refused to trust my gut. I was just paranoid. 

We had three weeks after Sam’s last chemo before massive, 0% chance of survival, relapse. 

How is that possible? 
How were all of the tests wrong? 
How did they not detect this evil hiding in my sweet six-year-old little boy?
How? Why? 

We simply don’t have the research to develop the right treatments.

Watching our founding hero, my son ~my Sam~ fight a second and third time because we don’t know enough is ludicrous to me. Why don’t we know?! 

Where is the dedication to our children? We have locally experienced extreme loss - again! Wyatt, Greyson, Zac, Lizzy, Gabriel, Sydney, Carlei; seven kids everyday will join these precious angels and my Sam. It’s not ok. 

My promise to Sam was to forever fight for All the Kids. At the end of April, we will return to our Nation’s Capitol to fight once again for more of national funding. Our lives have been shattered because of pediatric cancer, we can’t bear to see more families know this pain. 

I miss my Sam. 🎗💔

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀🌈🎗 Everyday, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀🌈🎗

Everyday, we are thinking about the value of gold - gold awareness that is! 😉

Like the fact that children get such a small percentage of the budget for research, yet these kids  lose, on average, 70 years of life due to this lack of research. #Itsnotok #thismuststop 

Lucky? No. Determined? Absolutely!!!
