To the Andrew’s Army Family
This month on October 31 st will be the eleventh anniversary of Andrew’s passing after 15 years of battling cancer with remarkable bravery when he finally succumbed.
Many of you will be receiving a memory card from Ellen Accardi, who marks each passing year with a story about his long battle.
Her vow was to never ever let him be forgotten.
After many years as the treasurer of the Andrew’s Army fund to support neuroblastoma research at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Ms. Maura Reilly has turned over that position to the Accardi family.
We cannot thank Maura and her late husband Rich Mitarotunda , a cofounder of the Andrew‘s army Fund for all the hard work and support over these many years.
We are making plans to reorganize Andrew’s fund ,to broaden our base of support ,to increase AA visibility and to work more closely with Dr John Maris and CHOP development to provide funds and updates on the research and progress that our AA community sponsors.
This month is always a tough one for our growing family of Ellen Frank,Ian ,Andrea ,Teddy,Jack,Christine,Caroline and Joseph.
Please consider a gift to Andrew‘s army this month especially.
