As some of you know, or not, I'm involved with Hogs for the Cause. It is a 2 day music, food, and charity event. This all started 17 years ago when a couple buddies had a pig roast at Fat Harry's to raise money for an old classmate's son, suffering from pediatric brain cancer. Now it is the largest charity event in the country, raising money to help families with the financial and stressful burden of pediatric cancer.

Not only does cancer take an enormous toll on the mental and physical health of the patients and its family members – it also has a tremendous financial impact. The costs associated with childhood cancer make it a struggle for families to get by and meet their needs while also being able to get their child to lifesaving treatment. For families already living in poverty, these difficulties are often multiplied.

Please help me support Hogs for the Cause, and families with children battling brain cancer all over the country, by making a contribution to my fundraiser. Below is my Rallybound link. Every dollar raised will advance Hogs for the Cause's mission to combat pediatric cancer!
