The Unseen 'Costs' of Childhood Cancer
There are so many 'costs' of childhood cancer that the outside world never sees. And, as significant as the financial costs are, the costs that I'm referring to are the non-financial ones which are often so much more damaging and, quite honestly, often much harder to 'fix'.
Happy Birthday, Ali!
24 years ago today, Chris and I became parents for the first time. As I have said many times, my biggest dream and goal in life was to be a Dad. And, man am I blessed.
Fri Aug 22nd
Due to a change in practice requirements for the players, Darren Sproles and Brandon Boykin are no longer available on Sunday and thus, the "Meet the Eagles" event at Firestone Restaurant has been postponed.
Thank You BMW DelVal Club!
One of the nice things about my job is seeing the way that people rally around the B+ Heroes and their families. They may not have ever met these kids, but these kind people are not 'strangers'.
This Life After Cancer.
Did you know us BC – as some families say? Before Cancer. Did you know us when soccer and baseball schedules overlapping was our biggest worry? Or when we would spend summers at the shore?
B+ 5k Today!!!
Today, we run, we walk, we gather together as a community to show a unified front against a collection of terrible, killer diseases grouped under the umbrella of childhood cancers.
Backstreet Boys & B+
And, as you'll see below, we've picked up a new B+ supporter in Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. In the picture below is Grammy Award winner Jim Jonsin, me, Nick Carter, and Al Carter.
Graduation Reflection
I had the privilege, the true privilege, of attending 2 graduation ceremonies of Andrew's. The first was so cute...it was his graduation from Bright Horizons kindergarten.
Thurs. Mar. 27th -- GREAT Andrew Story!
For #ThrowbackThursday today, we wanted to share an Andrew Story with you.
Andrew’s 21st Birthday!
September 3rd…This is a day with such mixed emotions. September 3, 1992 was one of the three happiest days of my life.
A Message from Andrew’s Mom
Chris’ video needs no introduction. I would be remiss, though, if I did not say how proud I am of Chris and how much I admire her courage and selflessness.
Fri. Feb. 1st
Thank you very much for all of the kind notes regarding this difficult week. Jan 29, 2007 is my ‘day that will live in infamy’.
Tues. Jan. 29th — One of the saddest days on the calendar!
January 29, 2007. 6 years ago today was a typical day, until I got a call from my mom saying I needed to get a ride home from school because my parents were at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children| Nemours with Andrew for what they thought would be an appendectomy.
Thurs. Jan. 24th
Often, I write about B+ Foundation activities. Sometimes it’s a dance marathon, a 5k, a golf outing, ice hockey game, car race, or some other hopefully worthwhile activity that we or other people are putting on to support our mission to fight childhood cancers.
