I get angry everyday over the toxicity of childhood cancer drugs. Beans died of an infection she got while on harsh chemo. Everyday, we personally hear of more treatment deaths or complications.

Please support us in our quest for better treatments TeamBeansMarathon.com
You do it to save your kid's life. You have no other choice. But kids come last to the world of drug development. If you've ever seen a child suffer through chemo, you can't be the same person after it. TeamBeansMarathon.com
Kids go deaf from chemo, or they have severe developmental delays. Some get cancers later in life, other kids are never the same after harsh radiation to save their lives. We CAN and MUST do better.

we get farther from Beans' life. I kept so few photos of 2021 so I could scroll back to my Beans easier. I'm still adjusting to this new life we have. Having a new baby doesn't erase the pain. But I feel such love for Talia. It's such effortless love.

I wish I could adequately explain to people how much of a huge difference the money being fundraised to the Infant Brain Tumor Program makes. TeamBeansMarathon.com #InternationalChildhoodCancerDay Image
