It Made A Difference To That One!

Don’t you just love that story? I think it sets the perfect backdrop to help kick off September which is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Like saving all the starfish, curing cancer may appear to be an endless task. There are many miles to cover and the distance is daunting. But the beautiful thing is this…there’s always HOPE! Little changes have great impact. Big or small, young or old, rich or poor, each and every one of us can make a difference. No, we are not going to have the cure by tomorrow. Nor will we be able to provide help to every family who needs it. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make a difference! Day by day (starfish by starfish) we can make life better for kids who are fighting cancer.

To help get you started, I’ve put together a little list of ways that YOU can make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. Pick one. Pick 10. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you DO SOMETHING! If we each pick up even one starfish, together, we can clear that beach lickety-split!
