Organiser's description
Join Martin County Healthy Start Coalition and Palm City Chamber in supporting the Gonzalez family with our Brooklyn Bridge Walk at Jock Leighton Park on January 27th, 9am. All funds raised will go to Brooklyn's Cancer medical bills, transportation, and more. Brooklyn Strong!
From Mike (Brooklyn's father):
My 3-year-old daughter Brooklyn was recently diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma, which is a rare form of liver cancer. Most cases are found in children between the ages of 2-4. Only 1 in one million children are diagnosed with this particular cancer in the U.S. a year, regardless there still needs to be more awareness of this horrific form of Cancer. My wife Cybill and I want to spread awareness to all parents to look for symptoms and mandate that there are increased communication and options with Pediatricians to detect any type of tumor their child may unknowingly have before that mass gets too big that chemotherapy is the only option before surgery removal....such as the case for our Brooklyn. My family thanks you....but most importantly Brooklyn thanks you!
