Lucy's Love Bus

A really great guy I work with turned me on to this charity, which his daughter is involved in. It helps children with cancer deal with the pain of taking the cancer drugs. It's a grassroots effort, and my friends daughter is trying to raise $550 to help out...she is doing a 33 mile bike ride in Boston. Please check it out.

Here's a blurb from their site:


Lucy's Love Bus is a non-profit organization that provides comfort to children with Cancer through integrative therapies. Millions of dollars are donated to Cancer research each year with only 3% funding pediatric research. With such little money, drugs are often experimental and toxic. These leave harsh affects that no medicine is able to fix. To relieve the pain from these drugs, children with Cancer seek help in integrative therapies; Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, Reiki, Equine Therapy, and much more. These therapies are very costly for families who are also trying to pay hospital bills. That is why we write $1,000 grants, which can cover a year of therapy. Here is a testimonial from 11 year old Stacy Lacroix, who is currently battling Leukemia. Her only Christmas wish this year was for people to make donations to Lucy's Love Bus...
