What do I do?

I help raise money, increase awareness, and improve quality of life for children with Childhood Cancer. I volunteer at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, California and have spent years volunteering at Denver Children’s Hospital. I am a Board Member for the Miracle Party Foundation (a non-profit that puts together amazing parties for children with cancer), and I have recently began launching my own venture called FundtheMiracle.org.

How did I get involved?

After hearing a radio-a-thon on a local Denver radio station, I decided to start volunteering at Denver Children’s Hospital. I was very fortunate to be offered a spot in the Oncology playroom, playing with kids and families affected by childhood cancer. I then witnessed the true horror this community experiences every day…I saw children fight for their lives, some won, and others lost. I became emotionally involved in this cause and haven’t turned back since!

The Miracle Party Foundation provides an annual bash for the patients and families who are fighting childhood cancer. The Miracle Party gives one night for these Miracle Children to celebrate, dance, party and forget about cancer. In its third year, the Miracle Party Foundation has had two successful events helping over one hundred children celebrate and party through a night of singing, dancing, light shows, games, face-painting, and much more. This year the Miracle Party is expanding to 11 states and two countries and growing.
