Marlee loved turtles. 🐢
Marlee was an accomplished archer.
She was a wonderful sister and a precious daughter.
Marlee loved to cook.
Marlee loved the movie ‘The Greatest Showman.’
Marlee loved dogs.
Marlee loved to sing—and she was really good.
Marlee loved Taylor Swift.
Marlee loved Minecraft and Ninja.
Marlee loved soccer—and she was really good.
Marlee loved helping people most of all. She wanted other kids to not suffer; she wanted to feed the homeless; she wanted to rescue animals; she wanted to cure cancer.

Time does not lessen loss. Seven years now without Marlee and we think of all she would accomplish—should accomplish—alongside her family. Find a moment of joy and kindness today for Marlee. We miss you, sweet girl, every single day.

Special Delivery!

This is a small part of what we do, but especially this time of year it’s an important part: bring holiday cheer and snuggly comfort to pediatric cancer patients.

You can help us continue to change the lives of these kids, one smile at a time.
Donate, and give—something that is truly better to give than receive.

We are calling today .

It’s your chance to see the impact YOUR donations are making…
…AND it’s your chance to keep it going!

Yesterday, we delivered holiday furry friends to the pediatric cancer patients at Arkansas Children’s.

We also presented them with a $50,000 check to enhance their solid tumor research and clinical trials.
We told Marlee’s story;
We laughed and cried;
We met the researchers;
We asked them to steward YOUR donations so kids have a shot at a cure.

What if this gift is the gift that saves even ONE life?
We humbly thank you and remind you it doesn’t stop—we don’t stop. Our work continues until there is a cure.
You can still make a year end gift at MarleesSmile.org in ANY amount that allows us to make the holidays a little brighter for kids and a little more hopeful for a cure.

…And tomorrow is .

💵How much holiday shopping did you do this weekend?
🎁How many gifts did you buy for the healthy children in your life?
🩺Too many pediatric cancer patients will spend their holiday in the hospital.
🎄Some parents won’t be putting presents under the tree this year.

Consider a donation—in any amount—that allows us to make the holidays a little brighter for kids and a little more hopeful for a cure.

It’s ....
it’s !
👻It’s also the month of Marlee’s Birthday!
🎃And no one loved Halloween as much as Marlee!
It brings us tremendous joy to walk our neighborhoods across the country (Arkansas! Colorado! Texas! New York!) and see the effort so many of you put into Halloween decorations…and we want to say thank you, and allow others to share and spread the joy….
will start popping up around you! You can help in two ways:
1. when you see this graphic posted in local decor, scan and say thanks—by helping with a friendly donation! Whether it’s $5 or $50, turn Halloween into Marlee’s mission!
2. Let us send YOU a graphic to display! DM us or comment and we will get you a copy for your yard/home/garage!
BOO!! Let’s cure cancer!

🎗️Every cancer diagnosis is different for every child.
🎗️Every relapse is different for every patient.
🎗️Our Marlee was no exception. 🎗️Every attempt at treatment looked different and grew progressively more invasive, toxic and exhausting.

WE FUND PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH.

Now is not the time to stop, it’s the time to push harder. We are preparing a large donation for solid tumor research—some of the hardest cancers to cure.

Maybe today you help us make that donation bigger.
Visit MarleesSmile.org and make your targeted research donation!

It’s been a busy week at Marlee’s Smile!

But do you know what that REALLY means?

It means too many kids have cancer. Period.

We are grateful we get to carry out Marlee’s mission, but with every Furry Friend we send out, we aim to spend MORE funding critical research to end childhood cancer.

Join us.
Let’s find a cure, together.
Whether it’s $5 or $50, your donation makes an impact.
Link in bio to donate!

The message jimmykimmel sent to our Marlee on her last birthday was personal, and private.

She loved it.
We were grateful, humbled and touched.

We know what he said, and we know he’s one of the good guys.

Marlee is a badge of honor.
So many bear her mark.

She told us, drew for us, the way she wanted to be remembered.

Straight as an arrow.
Strong like a turtle.

Do you want to honor Marlee in a tattoo?
We have her drawings. Let us know. 🐢⬆️🎗️
