Hello! My name is Danny and on October 11th, 2021, I will run the 125th Boston Marathon in order to raise money for One Summit, Inc.
One Summit’s mission is to build resilience in kids battling cancer through experiential learning with Navy SEALs, storytelling and community engagement.
According to The National Cancer Institute, 15,590 U.S. children under the age of 20 are diagnosed with cancer each year. In the same year, 1,780 children will lose their battle with the disease. Among the survivors, many will face life-long side effects, including amputation, secondary cancers and severe psychological stress.
Cancer invokes feelings of fear, uncertainty and vulnerability, affecting an individual’s overall health and ability to cope with the disease. Battling cancer is a war fought by entire families. It impacts not only the patient, but their siblings, parents and friends. For children impacted by the disease, it is often the first time they have faced adversity. There is a lack of knowledge for how to overcome challenges and they can’t do it alone.
With your generous donations, we can help ensure that No Family Fights Pediatric Cancer Alone!
