This week, on Wednesday evening, my mother and I met Charlotte at the beautiful Hyatt at Olive 8 hotel to join in the celebration of the opening of
Seattle Children's Hospital's new Center for Childhood Cancer Research, which will be led by Dr. Michael Jensen. We listened to brief speeches, and took a tour of the new laboratory facility. If you live in the Seattle area, I encourage you to look up the center, or schedule a tour. It is a light, bright, exciting space, where dreams of HOPE are going to be translated scientifically into CURES. If you are looking for a cause, a place to lend your voice, or a charity to support, please consider the Center for Childhood Cancer Research.
The income from the
Katie Gerstenberger Endowment
for Cancer Research
supports this center and its work.
As of now, the principal in Katie's endowment is
$163,284.
This is due to the generosity of Katie's family and friends, and
we thank you.
Our aim is to continue to support its growth, and to use the income to help researchers to find cures, so that other families do not have to watch their children suffer or die from cancer!
