Class of 2010
Mandy Lockhart
Kane was diagnosed in August of 2003 with juvinile diabetes at the age of 9 then on April 1, 2008 (April Fool's Day) at the age of 14 he was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma (bone cancer). He had 8 rounds of chemo, surgery to remove 4 inches of bone in his leg, and 5 more rounds of chemo. His doctor let him skip his last round of chemo. He missed his entire Freshman year of high school but he is alive and well today. He is so smart that he stayed caught up on his school work and did not fall behind. There is no sign of cancer...the diabetes he can live with. I thank God everyday that he is here with us.
We ARE 46 Mommas on a mission to raise awareness, raise funds for research and inspire others to help fund a cure for childhood cancer.
Each year a new class of 46 Mommas is inducted into the cause to empower and engage mothers of children with cancer. The number 46 is significant. On average, each weekday, 46 families receive the news that their child has cancer. Through increasing awareness of childhood cancer and raising funds for childhood cancer research by shaving our heads, we hope to one day be a group that no longer needs to exist.
