We would like to say thank you for coming to our page.

This year will mark our 5th year in participating in Al's Run and we are hoping you can continue to help us save the lives of other children.  In the last four years we have been able to start a foundation in honor of Kayleigh and will continue to support Children's Hospital in any way we can.  This fund is our everlasting commitment to help find a cure and to help other children and their families who will encounter these tumors. The child you save could be your own.

 

In January of 2005 at 8 1/2 months, our little Kayleigh was diagnosed with a large hepatic(liver) tumor along with several other small tumors. Kayleigh would begin her outpatient treatment through the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. By April 1, 2005 she was re-admitted to the hospital because the tumors had not reacted to the treatment the way her team of doctors had hoped. The doctors and nurses at Children's did all they knew how, with what information was available to them. Kayleigh lost her battle on April 27, 2005 and that is why we need your help.  In order for the doctors to find a cure we have to help raise the funding needed for much needed research.

We have taken many steps in the right direction over the last few years. Dr. Paula North, an internationally respected hemangioma researcher  has the joined the staff to spearhead the vascular anomolies research. As well the Birth Marks and Vascular Anomolies Center was opened with Dr. Beth Drolet as its medical director. Here children with similar tumors can be treated. 

 We NEED you again this year!

 Every single dollar of your pledges have gone and will continue to go to much needed research to further the understanding of this deadly type of tumor. Kayleigh has left a legacy of information for the doctors to study. Through this fund we will assist in helping to understand that legacy and to identify these tumors in their early stages and ultimately cure those who have them. One child's death is too many. This one just happened to be ours.
