Resources
Kids Join the Fight
Kids Join the Fight is a foundation started by our nine year old friend Walker Beery who just lost his two year fight with pediatric brain cancer. KidsJointheFight.org was created by Walker and his family as a way to help others families find a cure and provide treatment. I’m asking you to consider a donation in memory of Walker as well as all the kids fighting pediatric cancer.
