About Us

No parent ever wants to hear the words…

“Your child has cancer.”

But it’s the words that may follow that no parent should ever have to hear…

“There is no known cure.”

In August 2010 Declan Carmical lost his battle with Pediatric Cancer 8 days shy of his 1st birthday. Declan’s fighting spirit and smile live on in the lives of many.

Our journey began with a child’s smile, continued through the love of a community, and will end with a cure.
