The Golden Walk
June 2005
(Goldie's do anything for Kids)
 |
Okay
we're ready to do our part! |
How
long do we have to sit here and pose? |
 |
 |
There
was young and old willing to do their part |
Even
brother and sisters Emma and Sparky |
 |
|
Some even met their
long lost siblings My Tara and her brother Quincy. Who haven't seen
each other since they were 6 weeks old (now 7 years)
|
 |
 |
The
day was soooo hot, about 90°, so we all got to take a drip in the
boat launch |
Wow
it felt so good |
 |
 |
After
a big walk it's time for a boat ride |
Then a nice little nap. What a day! |
Thanks

Come back again as we are going to do it this year again on June 4th
This time my new brother "Larz:" will be joining us

About Childhood Cancer Childhood cancer is rare, about 1 in every 600 children develop cancer before the age of 15 - still relatively little is known about it's causes. Childhood cancer is not a single disease - there are many different types. Compared with adult cancers they tend to have different histologies and occur in different sites of the body. Common adult cancers such as lung, breast, colon, and stomach are extremely rare among children. On the other hand some types of cancer are almost exclusively found in children, especially embryonal tumors which arise from cells associated with the foetus, embryo, and developing body. |
