THE PURPLE HAIR CHALLENGE!
I am passionate about Team Summer! So passionate that I’ve agreed to do something crazy: DYE MY HAIR PURPLE! Yikes!! All through the month of September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I will be raising money for Team Summer. And then, in early October, with your encouragement, these locks are turning PURPLE, Summer’s favorite color! Can you help me reach my personal goal? Please donate today!!
Fun Fact: When I was a baby, Summer was one of my first baby sitters. She told my mom that she was totally fine watching a baby but had actually never changed a diaper! My dad came home to my diaper being one me BACKWARDS! LOL!
Team Summer is a non-profit that helps kids with cancer find purpose and connection during some of the toughest days of their lives. Summer Dale, who lost her life to cancer at age 16, discovered that when she was busy helping other kids with cancer, she wasn’t thinking about her own pain. Today, our Team Summer kids are reaching out to kids they meet on their cancer journeys, giving them awesome gifts that help distract them from their difficult treatments. And once kids with cancer get a gift, they become Team Summer kids, too, and then it’s their turn to find another kid with cancer to help. Just like Summer, our Team Summer kids have something positive and uplifting to focus on…right in the middle of all they are enduring. And most important, they learn that they are not alone in their cancer battles.
