Do you know a child with cancer?

| A tumor was found behind Andrew's eye in April 2010. His mother, Julie, blogs about her journey with her sweet son and his brothers over at Snips and Snails. Andrew is 3. |
We all hate cancer.
We hate it the most when it touches the ones we love.
Possibly even more when the one it touches is a child.
Thankfully, there are places like Texas Children's Cancer Center (TCCC) who work tirelessly to cure this awful disease and bring hope to patients and families daily. Six years ago, I made the decision to quit working at The University of M. D. Anderson Cancer Center (UTMDACC), which is within walking distance from TCCC in the Houston Medical Center, because my oldest son was born. I know the faces of precious little ones with this awful disease all too well. They were beautiful. They were funny. They were sweet. They were kind. When they could, they would smile for you, despite the pain and fatigue that wracked their tiny bodies. Their resolve almost seemed indestructible.

"The snowdrop is the first flower to bloom in the spring, even blooming when snow is still on the ground. It is a hearty flower, nearly indestructible by nature. Childhood cancer patients demonstrate indestructible attitudes and spirit while battling the life threatening illness of childhood cancer."Because of the symbolism this beautiful flower provides, The Snowdrop Foundation took it's name. This foundation is "dedicated to assisting patients and families at Texas Children’s Cancer Center through funding for continued research to eliminate childhood cancer and scholarships for college bound pediatric cancer patients and survivors."
