through a renovation including installing new cooktops. These suites are used to house patients that have a compromised immune system or have gone through a bone marrow transplant.

It has been such a blessing to be able to partner with this organization and to provide something so critical for these families. Thank you for your continued commitment to Fabulous Faith's Foundation, with your help we ARE making a difference!

, whose research Fabulous Faith's Foundation has been able to help fund. We are especially interested in this research as it involves ways to prevent cardio toxicity due to chemotherapy, exactly what happened to our Faith. Dr. Leger has made the included video so you can hear from her specially where your donated research money is going. Help us to continue to fund critical research like Dr. Leger's by donating, or signing up for the Fabulous Faith 5K at fabulousfaithsfoundation.org

Since a cancer journey is usually lengthy, these individuals have a unique opportunity to bond with their patients. They do such a great job of being a calming voice d...uring procedures, and reminding the kids to just be kids. Faith covered them with silly string, bubbles, water and most of all love. And they loved her back. Super excited to be able to provide funding for their critical mission.

$10,000 was given to the Solid Tumor Research Program. The goal of the program is to improve patient survival while limiting toxicity related to treatment in cancers such as osteosarcoma and Wilms Tumor, among others. 4 cents of every federally funded research dollar goes to childhood cancer, the other 96 cents goes to the adult market. Given this fact, it's up to foundations like FFF to raise the money to try to fill the funding gap for research. Funding critical research is so crucial as we hope for the day when no child has to hear -"You have cancer." Thank you for your continued contributions, only with your help can we continue fighting for kids and their families, support facilities, and fund much needed research.

This is an annual luncheon hosted by the hospital to raise funds for the Hematology/Oncology department, and my second one to attend. It was great to visit with the hospital staff and I even got to say hello to our friends from Kendra Scott who were also in attendance. The agenda is usually lunch and speakers. As we were eating a video was shown of two families that have been oncology patients. One was a survivor story, the other was not. On the video when the mother of the second child starting crying and stated that her baby had passed away, I had to leave the table and go to the restroom to compose myself. While there I kept thinking...What am I doing here? I know how this goes. It's the reality of childhood cancer and I live with it everyday. Why can't I just sit there? I guess the answer is because I don't want anyone to know this pain, and I was just shown another family that now has unwanted membership into this club.

As I was standing at the sink trying to get myself together, I found myself thinking of my son at that table. I knew if he was able to get in that restroom he would be there checking on me. The door opened and one of the hospital foundation employees entered. I looked over at her and she said, "I looked at your table and saw that you were missing so I came to check on you." She came over and hugged me and we both cried. I gathered my thoughts, pulled myself together and we walked back out to our respective tables. This is a perfect example of why this hospital will always be in my heart. This is not anyone that took care of Faith, just someone that has heard the stories of her. Someone sitting at a different table that looked for me, out of 300 people, on purpose. Someone that cared enough to leave their lunch and the program to come find me. This is why I love Cook Children's, it's the people. And this is why Faith loves it too.

Kendra Scott donated 20% of sales to Fabulous Faith's Foundation and we hope to have another party in September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Plan on doing your Christmas shopping with us in September, and telling all of your friends to join us. Special thanks to the Kendra Scott Fort Worth store for taking such great care of us during the event. Faith would have loved every detail! It was a joy to be able to partner with a great company with such a giving spirit, and we're looking forward to forming a lasting partnership with them in the future. Thank you again for continuing to make it possible for Fabulous Faith's Foundation to impact the world of childhood cancer. Praying one day no child will have to face a cancer diagnosis.#webelieveinacure
