Thankful Thursday

SPIKE IT!

Today we're so thankful for the chutzpah it takes to try something new. Of course, we're no strangers to this concept. Every idea, every ask we endeavor is a brave step forward—a step that leads to the cure no matter what kind of response we get. But there are some really cool peeps in the world that really embrace this concept.

So thankful that Wendy and Susan are trying something new for sick kiddos around the globe, a new event in a new city with new people. Pretty courageous, eh?

SPREAD THE WORD TO ANYBODY YOU KNOW IN ST. LOU-EEE!

Another big milestone!

Since the day a few people gathered in 2007 to talk about doing something big and good to fight children's brain cancer, there had been a yearning to financially help families going through the fight in addition to funding scientific research. It was a tough call, but we decided to work on the research arm of the Kyrie Foundation first because that's where the impending cure resides.

With each passing event and each family we met, we knew we wanted to grow our good. Lacie and Jordan can attest to how shocking and heartbreaking and staggering medical bills can be during the fight, especially at a time when one parent likely needs to be home from a job in order to care for the child.

We are so proud to announce a brand new event in a brand new city that will launch the Kyrie Foundation Family Assistance Fund!!!!!
