I'm Lauren Fowler, an Usborne Books & More consultant. This month is Pediatric Cancer Awareness month and I've partnered with the Claire Parker Foundation to raise money to purchase Cuddle Bear books and plush's to be given to children with cancer. Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death past infancy by disease among children in the United States. Families who are told their child has cancer are immediately rushed to the hospital to begin treatment-scared, alone and far from home. But we can help add a small piece of comfort during an extremely difficult time.
The Claire Parker Foundation was started in memory of their daughter. They provide ongoing care and emotional support for children and families battling pediatric cancer.
I lost a childhood friend to cancer at the age of 14. I've watched an acquaintance fight alongside her five-year-old daughter who has cancer. It is heartbreaking.
Our goal is to raise $1,000 to be used to purchase Cuddle Bear books and bears. Usborne Books & More will do a 50% match which will also be used to purchase books and bears. When Cuddle Bear products are purchased a portion of the proceeds goes to the Scott Carter Foundation for pediatric cancer research. We appreciate any bit of support you can provide!
