Two days before her 11th Birthday, Laila was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Take a moment to listen what this young life has endured.
Because of YOU, children like Laila don’t have to face their fight alone. Your support provides critical resources, comfort and hope to families when they need it most.

Our friends at Alan Byer Volvo are stepping up in a BIG way for local children and families facing childhood cancer once again this year!
Stephen Byer and Volvo’s commitment goes far beyond this partnership however. As part of the incredible work of the Alex`s Lemonade Stand Foundation, @volvogroup has helped raise over $2 million to support groundbreaking research, honoring Alexandra Scott’s powerful legacy.
We are so grateful to stand alongside partners who don’t just show up, but truly care.
Be sure to look for our sign when visiting the @syracusevolvo dealership and check out the Volvo leading the way at the Run!
A special thank you to Kristen Borte, valued member of the Volvo Syracuse Team (pictured here), for meeting with us today and all that you do to support our mission.

Had a great meeting with Grant Fletcher @fleetfeetsyr today. As we come up on the 30th Anniversary of our flagship event, Paige’s ButterflyRun (yes 30th!), he has been exploring a special product to rollout to benefit our mission. We were quite excited with what he had in mind 🤩👀
Stay tuned for that as well as info on the No Boundaries program starting soon at Fleet Feet.

It’s one of the first things you see when you walk into Clinic. A cart full of books from which the children get to choose one boom keep each time they visit.
We’ve just dropped a restock along with a generous gift card for the Child Life team to use in their incredible work of helping the children through their journey.
We cannot thank our amazing community enough for you generousity. YOU have just delivered HOPE.

Huge smile.
Warm heart.
Infectious Laugh.
All qualities of Ilijah, who at just 17 years old when he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma.
When his family first heard the news "Your child has cancer" they had no idea which way to turn.
As so often happens, one caregiver must leave work to care for their sick child and attend frequent treatments.
Ilijha`s Mother Neli sat down with us to share about her precious child and how much the support they received meant.
No one fights alone 💛

These are more than just beautiful works of art hanging in Clinic. Created at a H.O.P.E. Event, they represent a beautiful community.
H.O.P.E. Events offer children and families a chance to gather outside of the hospital setting, have a bit of fun and build community with others who “know what it’s like.”
Grateful for our amazing supporters who make this tender event a reality. #gratitude

A little over two years ago a new leader was chosen to guide the team of a local nonprofit that offers HOPE to those grieving within our community.
Under the leadership of Kelly Ocampo, @hopeforbereaved continues to move forward with bold vision and deep compassion. Kelly and her team are thoughtfully exploring how they may be of maximum service to families across Central New York, including far too many within our childhood cancer community.
And they want to hear from you.
If you are a bereaved parent, and have interest in A Life Remembered, an 8 week closed group, please reach out to their team.

Community support saved Elijah’s life and now it fuels his “why.” 💛
At just two years old, Elijah Conte was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and given a 20% chance to live. His young body endured 48 months of chemotherapy and countless procedures.
But because so many foundations showed up for Elijah and his family, his story isn’t only about hardship, it is about gratitude. He looks back and sees the good: the support, compassion and reassurance they were never alone.
Today, Elijah serves on the board of Paige’s Childhood Cancer Fund, committed to paying that support forward for families facing childhood cancer now.

By supporting our mission you help make these critical events a reality for families at @upstategolisano. H.O.P.E. gatherings are an opportunity for pediatric cancer patients, caregivers, and siblings to connect with other families battling a pediatric cancer diagnosis during inspirational and fun activities outside of the hospital, in a non-medical environment.

"Staying at RMH for a few apts today in NYC (non-emergent). This notice is in the rooms here to remind parents of children on treatment that their diapers become hazardous to those around them and need to be disposed of accordingly." -Ashley, Laila`s Mom
Let that sink in.
If knowing that babies and young children are pumped full of toxic chemicals, so powerful their diapers become hazardous, just to fight the awful disease inside their tiny bodies doesn’t stir something deep within you… what will?
Please join us in our mission.
