The B+ Blog
Check out our blog to get monthly updates about all things B+ from our President and Co-Founder, Joe McDonough.
Take a Pause
Do you remember how much fun it was to splash in puddles when you were younger? It’s really kind of sad that we lose that spirit as we get older.
Happy Birthday Andrew!
Tuesday was Andrew’s 32nd birthday…unfortunately, we have observed the last 18 of them without Andrew here. There are no words to describe how much I miss my son. And, no, the pain NEVER goes away!
Summer Leadership Academy
We hosted about 40 B+ student leaders from all over the country for our annual Summer Leadership Academy.
UDance 2024
It was a long but fun day as thousands of University of Delaware students gathered for the 12-hour UDance.
Everett Says Let’s Go UDance!
Please read about what this cute little boy has gone through in his very short life. If this doesn’t give us perspective, I don’t know what will.
Thank You Students!
“First I want to send my condolences. I am truly sorry. I can only imagine. I wanted to send a huge thank you! This helps so much and we are very grateful! Having to worry about bills during this difficult time is added stress that I wish no parent has to deal with, so any kind of help is a blessing!
Spreading the Word
Last week, I traveled to Washington, DC last week for our “Alliance Action Days”. We brought together over 200 family advocates from across the country.
Messages from My Bosses
Please meet B+ Heroes Tessa, Kaison, & Roya. I’ll let their parents - and their beautiful smiles - do all the talking.
Fight Night for Childhood Cancer
Thank you to the Sigma Chi fraternity at the University of Texas in Austin for including us, once again, as a charity beneficiary of “Fight Night”.
Rain or Shine, the Fight Continues
The weather was MUCH more cooperative this year as we had a beautiful day and a lot of fun at our B+ Golf Outing. Thanks to all of our sponsors and guests, we grossed over $110,000!!!
Something for everyone
In this update, there’s a little bit of something for everyone from research to family stories to prevention to awareness. Thanks for taking the time to read.
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
What a cute little guy! Don’t you just love those eyes? Please read Leif’s “About Me” page below. I think this ice cream sundae beats “pink medicine” any day.
Super Busy Week!
Norah, I hope you have the long hair you desire soon, but in the meantime, you are ROCKING the head scarf!!!
SO Much Going On!
This week was a slightly light week as we ONLY gave out $100,000 in financial assistance to families of kids with cancer.
You Lift Them Up
Here’s a nice note for you from Cris’ Mom. It means so much to our families to know that people out there care about them.
Something for Everyone
I hope everyone had a nice Easter, Passover, or Ramadan. In today’s update, there truly is something for everyone.
