This one time at little pink camp…

…I met the founder of this amazing organization, the incredible volunstars and eight other families who were going through this crazy journey called cancer. We laughed a lot, we cried just a little bit and I believe some strong friendships were made.

There are no administrative fees or corporations taking dollars here – this is as real as it gets. Read More
