Facts About Children's
Cancer
BOP Gift Shop
Everyone has a defining moment in life. A moment
when you know, without any question, just what life is about.
For the Band of Parents that defining moment was hearing the words that our children have a rare and
deadly form of cancer. Our lives now are about finding a cure for our precious children who are battling
neuroblastoma. Lack of money bars the way, and time is running out for many of these kids. Today hope
lies with private institutions, generous donors, and dedicated researchers who have made it their mission
to discover safer, more effective treatments and a cure. We as the parents of children diagnosed with this
relentless cancer are reaching out in hopes that you will help us. Won’t you please
support the research so
urgently needed to give all the kids fighting neuroblastoma today, and those who will be so unfairly chosen
to fight tomorrow, the hope all children deserve?

Paddling for a Cure May 10th to the 24th
Karen and Maryellen (mom and aunt to Neuroblastoma survivor Kate Jacobs) will paddle raft
the entire length of the Grand Canyon over two weeks’ time. They'll sleep on the shore of
the Colorado River at night and raft it by day. This will be a wonderful adventure as they’ll
go two weeks without their kids - or a shower! They'll cross more than 100 rapids, including
the wildest navigable river water in all of North America. They're calling this adventure
"PADDLING FOR A CURE!" and they're doing it to fund the development of a new treatment
for Neuroblastoma. Please visit the link below for more details and please make a donation
to show your support. Every dollar counts!
