Dear Readers,
I would like to wish everyone that follows this blog a very Merry Christmas! We have been blessed this year with Jacob's continuing good scans and stability regarding his back issues. We have also been successful in gaining our public charity status and followed with a news release debut viewed by over 75,000 people.
Indeed, the Pediatric Proton Foundation has made great strides this year. We were at two national conferences. We have made many important connections in the pediatric oncology world. We have also posted opinions when proton articles have run and been featured on t.v. and radio. Our most recent airing on www.whatmatters.tv. Check us out!
Our board of directors represent some of the best talent in the pediatric radiation oncology world and will be key players in grant decision making. Thank you so much to Dr. Keole, Dr. Keppel, Dr. Porsche, Dr. Indelicato and Dr. Chang! You are truly the best!
Not bad for a first year of operation, but we still need your help! We are seeking skilled volunteers and always financial supporters that believe in what we are trying to do to help other parents and their kids. We have been there done that and support is critical to our success.
Our 2010 goal is to continue to raise money to offer financial grants to pediatric cancer patients to receive proton therapy. If you feel it in your heart and have a charitable giving plan, won't you please consider the Pediatric Proton Foundation? You can donate online at www.pediatricprotonfoundation.org.
Again, Happy Holidays!
Susan Ralston
Executive Director/Founder
