Organiser's description

A text that read Make a Difference Today for Someone who is Fighting for their Tomorrow (quote from Jim Kelly) was sent from Gwens dad to mom. This quote was a perfect reminder of the way we strived to care for Gwen: fighting her disease with love, endless snuggles, days filled with sunshine, and lots of prayer. Our goal was simple: MAKE GWEN SMILE EVERYDAY! While walking this journey, we learned firsthand about the financial, physical, and emotional stresses associated with having a child with a terminal diagnosis. The initial goal of making Gwen smile everyday grew to sharing smiles with fellow families walking a similar path.
