Shark attacks are all over the news at this time of year, but according to the University of Florida, the odds of being attacked by a shark are 1 in 3,748,067. While the odds of a child getting cancer are only 1 in 260, it looks like it's up to us to break the news that shark attacks AND research investment specifically for are REALLY more rare kids' cancers.

Our sweet girl was so proud to spread awareness for pediatric brain cancer. This picture was taken 6 months after her DIPG diagnosis and in 3 short months to the day we would loose her. We miss her with every breath and know each new day brings us closer to finding a cure and being reunited!
