Are You A Hero?

When you were a child, did you want to grow up to be a "Hero or Super Hero" like Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Spiderman and so on? Well, we all know they were only "TV" heroes and only in our imagination.

Now is your chance to be a real live Hero. A Hero to kids with brain tumors. Kids who only want a chance to grow up and live a happy, normal life...

Would you please be a "Hero" to children with a brain tumor. It only takes a couple minutes and $5.00 to become a "Hero". Of course, if you would like to donate more, you will be a "Super Hero".

I started "Brown Bag For A Cure" in an effort to save children with brain tumors, the most deadly of all childhood cancers.

Brain tumors affect the most innocent of all victims, our children. Children who just want to grow up and have a future. And out of the blue, it hits them without warning and no mercy.

Brain tumors are extremely difficult cancer to treat and beat. Thousands of kids fight this battle every day with little guarantee of a future. Why? There is no cure and funding for research is very limited.

The concept is simple...Please brown bag your lunch for a day and donate what you would have spent on a fast food meal for pediatric brain tumor research. Challenge your friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. to join you. The more "Heroes" the better.

All funds raised through "Brown Bag For A Cure" go directly to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

There are 2 ways to donate. We have a secure online website www.firstgiving.com/brownbagforcure or you may mail your check, made out to PBTF to:

BBFC/Team Straughn, 9282 Monongahela Tr., Ashland, VA 20005

One lunch at a time, a simple effort to find a cure and remove this horrible disease from the face of the earth.

Please do it for the children....Maybe you know a child you would like to make a donation in honor or memory of.

Thank you,

Kathy
