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

We never got a February with Francesca, I think part of it is why it hit me so hard on Valentine's Day. Buying a little balloon for her tree, I just wish we were all here together w/her and Talia. With each new memory with Talia, each new photo – I take so many! - I know that... 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 Just today I was on a call with the head of the program of all of the amazing labs and research at Dana-Farber this money is going to. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars for clinical trials and research that wouldn’t be there without you! TeamBeansMarathon.com ImageImage
