Best Friends

This photo haunts me. I look at this little girl and I see Ellie. I pray every day that Ellie will never have to grow up without her best friend and partner in crime. What this family is facing is beyond tragic. The Truth 365 is working... to spread awareness outside our "childhood cancer circle", which is the first step in making some real changes.

Three days after his Virginia memorial service, 13-year-old Gavin Rupp was laid to rest tonight in Ohio. 6-year-old Abby and 11-year-old Ian had to say their final goodbyes to their big brother and best friend. This is WRONG on so many leve...ls but this is happening all over the country and the world 365 days a year. The general public and our elected leaders are blissfully unaware that so many kids are dying but we plan to change that. Our campaign is gearing up for Phase Two and we need your help. Please make a commitment today to stand up for Gavin and all children with cancer. Will you be their voice? Will you help us spread awareness? Will you help us advocate for more federal funding for childhood cancer research? Will you fight with us every day, every month and every year until their are cures and safer, less toxic treatments? These kids need you. Don't let them down.

The Rupp family also needs you. Please say a special prayer for Sandy, Chris, Ian and Abby tonight as they say goodbye to sweet Gavin, one of the nicest kids we ever knew. We are dedicated to continuing Gavin's battle for the benefit of all children who face this horrific disease.
