Dear donors,
On 15 February it was International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) which was truly remarkable this year as it was a day when the launch of the Official version of the new song We Are One was launched. We Are One which was specially created by Christophe Beck and his 11 year old daughter Sophie Rose for the Childhood Cancer International Child4Child campaign. Prior to the launch, close to a million have contributed their creative and personal versions of the song. Interpreting it through voice, dance, mime, body movement and showing just how much they care for children with cancer, like yourself. Have a look at www.child4child.com and for the official music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBzuYXCEDis
With your care for children with cancer we received $930 of the $15.000 we aim for, which is great. At this moment 21 children have subscribed for the camp of 12-18 year olds: patients, ex-patients and brother or sisters. They will stay from the 18th of March till the 20th of March in the Youth hostel in Soest http://www.stayokay.com/nl/hostel/soest.
Annet, survivor of chronic myeloid leukemia, said: “What made the camp so special were the people who were there. Young people with impressive stories for whom it is not obvious that they or their brother or sister are healthy. Stories about life and sometimes death. Stories similar to my story and where I recognize myself. A place where my story may have been...”
Do help us to gain our goal and distribute this message to family and friends, people who care for children with cancer.
Thank you very much!
