21 Days....

We started "Brown Bag For A Cure" in an effort to save children with brain tumors.

Imagine being locked in your own body.

Imagine not being able to speak, walk on your own, see, or even swallow your own food; while having complete cognitive abilities and independent thought.

Imagine waking up every morning and experiencing the sensation of losing the use of another finger, toe or limb at a pace that shuts down your entire body within weeks. You are trapped, without hope or without a lifeline to the world around you.

Now imagine you are just 6 years old.

Brain Tumors affect the most innocent of all victims – children who just want to grow-up. And just at the time that they are planning their first day of kindergarten, it hits without warning and no mercy.

Brain tumors are an extremely difficult cancer to treat and beat! Thousands of kids fight this battle with little guarantee of a future.

The concept is simple. Please give up lunch for just one day and donate the money you would have spent. for pediatric brain tumor research. Ask everyone you know to do the same.

ALL funds raised through Brown Bag For A Cure go directly to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Click to make a secure online donation.

Please help us save the children. It is just one lunch out of your life and it could be the very gift that provides thousands of children with just that -- Life!

The end date for this current fund-raising mission is July 26th. Our target is $25,000 and we are $4,000 from that amount. Or you could save 400 Brown Baggers x $10.00 donation....

If you are reading this blog, you know a child who is fighting this battle or a child that lost their fight. Please Brown Bag just one day in Honor or Memory of them.
