Why I Do This

Everyone has there own personal reasons for donating their time and money toward various causes that are important to them. For myself, it starts with what CMN does and how Extra-Life started. When I heard about Extra-Life, it hit a nerve. Hearing the story reminded me of my cousin Bobby. We were the same age and I still remember him and I playing with his train set. At a very early age he developed leukemia. At the time, all it meant to me was thathe had gotten sick. Bobby didn't survive.

Decades later, this takes on an entire different perspective. Having been through cancer as an adult, I know how much it takes out of you. As a child, it has to be even harder, yet they don't complain. Having kids of my own, it would be devastating to watch my child go through anything like this.

This is why, since hearing about Extra-Life, it has been a permanent part of my life and will continue to be. CMN supports children and their families wherever they are, to lessen the stress and impact families go through when children need treatment.
