A Wonderful cause !

Dr. Frederic Barr is the lead Researcher in the US trying to find a cure for Rhabdomyosarcoma. If anyone feels so inclined please consider a donation for a worthy cause. In the span of 32 months, including Paigee, there have been 4 deaths attributed to Rhabdomyosarcoma just at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital alone. The statistics for cure are not in favor of the patient.

Although it hasn't quite happened yet, please do not send flowers. Donations to Dr. Barr would be a better use of the money; in Paigee's name if you want. It may save other children from a similar fate as Paigee.
