      Founder

      Because of my son's illness, I am passionate about helping kids battling cancer and blood diseases, and their families. An illness effects the whole familiy.

Every Day A Hero has a resource fair, crafts and activities at an entertainment complex, makeovers for the kids, massages for the parents and other entertainment.
