Please be sure to visit our local partners and let them know that you are there supporting The Valerie Fund for National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The Valerie Fund appreciates the generosity of our partners and their support of our families.
After their nine-year-old daughter Valerie succumbed to cancer in 1976, Sue and Ed Goldstein were determined that no family should have to travel great distances to receive state-of-the-art medical care. Today, more than 6,000 children with cancer and blood disorders benefit immeasurably by receiving their medical treatment close to home in a child-centered environment. The Valerie Fund ensures they do not have to rely on insurance reimbursements to receive a range of customized therapeutic services that enhance their quality of life.
