Today marks the beginning of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! Each year, around 559 kids and teenagers in Ohio are diagnosed with cancer. It's a life-changing moment that no parent or child ever expects or plans for. Parents oftentimes have to step away from work, calendars fill with appointments, siblings adjust their lifestyle, and the financial and emotional pressure pile up. I'm proud to support an organization, , whose mission is to help try and keep families housed, put gas in their car for hospital trips, help keep food on the table, and remind a child and family that they are not alone.

I'm calling on my network to consider donating to NC4K's September Awareness Mission to help continue to provide support for these families and children impacted by pediatric cancer. Every donation matters, and we currently have a $5,000 match in place! I'm proud to announce that Natalie and I will be matching an additional $1,000 after the first match has been hit. You can learn more and donate here: http://spr.ly/6182B17VV8

Please let me know if you have any questions, and let's make an impact!
