Cancer. It is no longer the death sentence it once was, but we still haven't found a cure and the fight to survive it, remains a life changing battle.
Imagine having to take on that fight as a child.
Today's non profit for 25 days of giving is:
The Hole in the Wall Gang: http://www.holeinthewallgang.org
a group founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, who provide support to children undergoing cancer treatments. They have a residential summer camp program, a year round center and hospital outreach programs. All services provided free of charge.
A note from my friend Christine who asked me to put this group on the list (she says it better than I could):
"My suggestion? The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. They helped my niece during her cancer treatment in a way that was unbelievable. They entertained her during every treatment (she was 5) and then she has been a camper there twice. Unbelievable organization."
There are several ways to get involved with this organization. Please visit their website:

A huge thank you to everyone who has contacted any of the organizations I've posted about so far!!!
