Thanks to the 8th grade class at The Tower School, specifically Annie McMahon, who sold delicious merangue cookies at the Camp Sunshine Pumpkin Festival in Boston! Their class raised over $1600 for Camp Sunshine, which is enough to send a family for an entire week!
Joli (and mom) spoke at the Tower School along with people from Camp Sunshine to thank the class for all their hard work and commitment to helping families in need. We were there to share how Camp Sunshine changed our lives by allowing us to meet other families with Retinoblastoma.
For more information about Camp Sunshine, a cost-free camp for families with children with life threatening illness, go to http://www.campsunshine.org. Camp was so important for many of us Rb families because it was the first time so many of us felt “normal” for a while! Camp Sunshine runs over 25 specific diagnosis weeks!
To invite a retinoblastoma family to any of your fundraising events or to share our cancer experiences, please email liza@rbne.org.
