(6/6) “If I was to write a book about this whole experience, it would be called The Town That Saved Grace. So many people rallied around my daughter. There are just so many good people out there. Every time you turn on the TV, it’s always people yelling and fighting. You forget how many good people there are. After Grace got diagnosed, people cooked dinner for us for months. The schools were so supportive. Everyone helped out: the swim team, the soccer team, the fire department, the church. Our church had a rosary for Grace one day and they couldn’t even fit everyone in the chapel. Absolute strangers would stop us in the supermarket and tell us they were praying for us. But the moment I’ll never forget is when we were driving in our car one day, and we pulled over to stop at a lemonade stand. And it was a lemonade stand for Grace.”

Grace’s life was saved by an experimental antibody, which resulted from the efforts of a group of parents who raised $2,000,000 to fund research. We are currently holding our own fundraiser to help the team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in their fight against pediatric cancer. Your donations will fund the science that saves the lives of children. There are three days left. Over 35,000 people have donated so far and we have raised over $1.4 million. It would be amazing if we could reach 50,000 donations by the end of the series. Even if it’s a small amount, please consider donating: http://bit.ly/1TpFcdy
