Help Camp Brenner Cancer Kids

Just recently, a group of parents from Brenners' 9th floor joined forces, hearts, and minds to form a non-profit to help improve the experience of families on the floor facing cancer.  I had the privilege of being asked to join the board this summer and can't wait to get even more involved in life at Camp Brenner.  This place is a second home to all of us and the doctors, nurses, volunteers, staff, specialists, and families have become our cancer family.  It is a family we will always hold dear and a place we are always welcome and understood.

For the families going through cancer treatment there are many physical and financial needs.  When your child is in treatment for months or even years, the needs are great.  And as much as we all love our hospital there are always needs and things that need to be fixed or changed.  Most recently it has been the large number of TVs and DVD players that have broken.  Going through chemo and weeks in the hospital without a television is unthinkable.  The foundation has made the commitment to identify the needs, reach out to the families, deal with the bureaucracy, and dig through miles of red tape and restrictions.  But to make this happen we need funds and the support of everyone who cares about these kids.

This Monday we are having a fundraiser at THE LOOP in KERNERSVILLE.  A portion of their proceeds will go directly to the foundation.  There will also be several Camp Brenner families there.  We would love to see you there!
