December can be a difficult month for families whose children are fighting cancer. Hospitalizations and treatment schedules, along with the financial burdens of childhood cancer, make it difficult, if not impossible, for parents to provide festive holiday experiences for their families or buy gifts. The CURE community stepped forward with compassion and characteristic generosity to make sure these families felt loved and supported during this festive time of year. We want you to know how much your support meant to our families. More than 120 families were treated to an afternoon of fun at C ..read more

The last five years have been a true tempest for Faith. But you would never know it if you talked to her. Despite what she has been through, this beautiful 19-year-old exudes positivity. Her cancer journey began when she was fifteen. After finding a lump in her chest, her doctors determined that Faith had Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Her treatment consisted of eight months of chemotherapy, which caused her to lose her hair, which was very traumatizing for her. She was declared cancer-free at the end of her treatment. But that only lasted six months before she relapsed. After chemotherapy, immunotherapy ..read more

Easton has been fighting cancer for most of his twelve years. When he was 21 months old, he was constantly sick. His pediatrician noticed that his sickness was abnormal – he vomited more frequently in the mornings and while sitting in his car seat. A scan revealed a large tumor on Easton’s brain stem near the area that controls swallowing and nausea. “The fact that Easton would get sick after being in his car seat made our pediatrician suspicious,” recalled his mother, Jill. “If the car seat hadn’t put pressure on the tumor, it might have taken longer to find.” Easton had surgery to remove as ..read more

In 2009, at the age of three, Lana Turner was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Lana’s dad, Brit, is the drummer of the popular rock band Blackberry Smoke. Thankfully, Lana got through treatment and is doing great today. But Brit and the band wanted to ensure all children with cancer have a chance to grow up and live life like Lana is doing, so they started donating money raised for fan meet-and-greet packages to childhood cancer organizations. Since then, the band has raised more than $700,000 to fight childhood cancer. “As a band, we have always tried to lend a hand anytime we were able,” Bri ..read more

Last September, five-year-old Carter woke up from his nap acting very strange. “He was giggling, acting goofy, and couldn’t walk straight, “described his father, Brad. “Honestly, if I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought he was drunk.” Brad and his wife, Becky, were so alarmed that they took Carter to an urgent care practice, then to the emergency room. After testing, the original thought was that Carter had some kind of viral infection causing brain inflammation which triggered the abnormal behavior. A prescribed steroid treatment seemed to work. But after a week off of the steroids, the ..read more

In the summer of 2020, Paul and his family were enjoying a mountain vacation. Although he had been experiencing intermittent leg pain, he never let it slow him down, and he didn’t complain. So when an x-ray revealed a tumor in his right femur, his parents were shocked. “We thought Paul had a muscle injury, or possibly a bone infection,” Paul’s mother, Charlotte Marie, said. “We weren’t prepared to hear the words cancer or Ewing sarcoma.” More bad news came as further testing revealed more than 100 tumors in Paul’s lungs and a lesion on his spine and left femur. After nine rounds of chemotherap ..read more
