We will be participating in the Toledo CureSearch Walk on Saturday, July 30th 2011. The walk will be held at Pacesetter Park located at 8801 Sylvania-Metamora Rd, Sylvania, OH. Registration/Check-in is at 8:30am and the Opening Ceremony and Walk begins at 9:30am. We have formed a team for Brody. Our team name is "Team Brodinator." You can follow the link below to support Brody and other children with cancer by joining our team to walk with us on July 30th, 2011, or becoming a virtual walker, or making a financial donation to our team.
CureSearch for Children's Cancer is a non-profit organization that funds lifesaving, collaborative research for the Children's Oncology Group, the largest children's cancer research organization in the world. With more than 6,000 physicians, nurses and researchers at more than 200 hospitals in North America, 90 percent of children with cancer are treated at Children's Oncology Group hospitals (including Brody).
More than 13,500 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer each year and more than 40,000 undergo treatment annually. While overall survival rates have increased from 10 percent 40 years ago to 78 percent today, one in five children still loses his or her battle to cancer.
The CureSearch Walk is an opportunity for family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, corporate supporters and community members to come together to honor those whose lives have been affected by children's cancer, while raising funds for lifesaving research.
Please join us in supporting Brody and other children with cancer.
