Day 23, Chemo Round 5 :: The EVAN Foundation

Wednesday nights rarely disappoint Jade; they are, after all, Treat Cart nights, when all of the patients on the oncology floor are visited by the EVAN Foundation's Treats and Treasure Cart.  Sunglasses, puzzles, bracelets, necklaces, books, wands, a tiara -- all reasons that Jade looks forward to the Treat Cart.

Evan's Victory Against Neuroblastoma (EVAN) Foundation is the labor of love of two parents who lost their only child to another rare form of pediatric cancer, neuroblastoma, less than two years ago.  Since then, they have dedicated themselves to fighting for a cure everyday by raising awareness, and supporting research and patient wellness programs (like the Treats and Treasure Cart.)  www.theevanfoundation.org 

Jade and Madison take to the halls in their princess fare
after a recent visit with  the EVAN Foundation's Treats and Treasure Cart.
I hope that one day, after Jade's treatment is finished, we will find some way to give back and support other families who have been affected by pediatric cancer. Thanks for checking in on Jade and keeping her lifted up in your thoughts and prayers.
