Thank you for listening to Season 3 of Poetry for Peace, Journey to a Cure. These verses were a path to healing through tremendous grief and pain.  Music, poetry and the arts have always been a source of joy for me and my child. During cancer treatments, they helped us find comfort and peace.  If you have donated to St. Jude, Ronald McDonald House, Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation or The Cure Starts Now - thank you for your heart and generosity.  If you haven’t donated, please consider giving a gift in support of children and families suffering from a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Your gift can provide families with resources and help keep them together through long months of treatment, months in which their lives are upended and many families are forced to separate so that their child may receive life-saving care.  Your gift can also help further research to find a cure, giving children diagnosed with pediatric cancer the best chance to live the long, full lives they deserve.  Thank you again for listening, and for supporting young cancer warriors like my child. It means everything.  Donation Links:  www.stjude.org/donate www.rmhc.org/donate www.curethekids.org/donate www.thecurestartsnow.org/donate
