Our Walkers and Runners are doing a phenomenal job spreading the word about The Valerie Fund Walk & JAG-ONE Physical Therapy 5K on June 8, 2019 in Essex County's Verona Park. Patients, Walkers, Runners, and family are hitting the airwaves to spread awareness of children battling caner and blood disorders so we have collected a few recent videos you may have missed.

Many people use music to get through a bad time or to give them the power to fight back. Some people use music to put them in a good mood or to translate what they're feeling. Each month we will bring you a playlist from one of our Valerie Fund kids with a different theme and they will explain, in their own words, what these songs mean to them.
Put on your headphones and join us for the first ever Valerie Fund Music Mondays as we look at Iesha's playlist, "When In Doubt, Sing It Out."

We have shared the story of Grace’s House here before (Need to catch up? Check out previous Grace’s House entries here and here) but this incredible endeavor would not have been possible without the talent, inspiration, and dedication of the designers who transformed a portion of Grace’s House.
We would like to take a moment to spotlight some of these wonderful designers and to learn what inspired them to participate in Grace’s House, a Valerie Fund Show House.

The Valerie Fund could not exist without a network of dedicated, talented, and absolutely incredible volunteers who give their time to help support a cause that is important to them. April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month and as we look back, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the people who help make the organization run.

At first glance, the town of Plainfield, NJ appears to be just like many of the municipalities that make up the Garden State but take a closer look and you’ll find a rich history of industry, music, affluence, and even the American Revolution. In April 2019, another chapter of Plainfield’s history is written as The Valerie Fund opens the doors to Grace’s House, a designer show house to benefit expanded care for children with cancer and blood disorders.
We previewed Grace’s House in a blog post two weeks ago and you can refresh your memory by clicking here. Today we would like to share the story of this 150 year-old home is so special.

Valerie Fund patient, Olivia’s story continues in this blog post.
2019 is here and I don't really know how to feel about it.
You see, on New Year’s Day of 2018, I was a newly diagnosed cancer patient. I had just underwent surgery, a bone marrow biopsy, several different scans, and was barely conscious from all of the pain medication pumping into my body. I was about to embark on nine months of agonizing treatment, both physically and emotionally. Although most of my memory from those first few days is very hazy; what I can vividly recall is sobbing over the fact that I just didn’t want to do it.
