Dr. Maris and Dr. Sullivan have been working hand in hand to help diagnose our 13 year old daughter. While the result looks positive for us, it has been humbling to live on the 3rd floor at CHOP the last few days. We are indebted to the family we've made at CHOP and are blessed to have you in our lives fighting for our child's health.

We have started a foundation in memory of our son, Brandon, who lost his battle with Leukemia this past year. The B-Strong Foundation (http://www.b-strongfoundation.org) is currently asking for new books to be donated to the Oncology ward at CHOP. Due to increased health restrictions in the Onco unit, books can no longer be shared between Onco ... See Morepatients, and they are in desperate need of new books for the children. Buying and donating these books from Kohl's provides a dual benefit for CHOP. Please visit the B-Strong website for more info, or join our Facebook Cause at http://apps.facebook.com/causes/404584. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you know that in the United States, cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children under 15?? And, because children are not just miniature adults, they need to be treated with specialized care in centers that have expertise in pediatrics.
