We have given to pediatric cancer research teams at Children\'s Hospital Colorado and Dana Farber Cancer Institute in just 8 years. We have also given in gift cards to pediatric oncology patients at Children\'s Colorado for food, gas and entertainment.

In 2020 I was the winner of the Wyoming Jefferson Award for Volunteerism and will represent the state of Wyoming at the National Awards Ceremony in September. In 2019 we expanded our mission to open a Pediatric Specialty Outreach Clinic in Casper with our partners at Children\'s Hospital Colorado and Wyoming Medical Center. This Clinic brings physicians up from Denver to see Wyoming kids for a variety of complicated medical conditions without the need to travel out of state. We also have a Patient Advocacy Program and a Mental Health Support Program. Learn more by visiting I am also an experienced freelance writer.
