The Givens Group went out on Friday, September 13th, to the Players Club of Henderson for a charitable golf scramble to support finding the cure for childhood cancer.
As you may know,
September is
"Childhood Cancer Awareness Month"!
In September of 2012,
a remarkable, world-wide
Thumbs Up Movement
began as a way to honor
Lane Goodwin
and the positive attitude
he maintained during his 2 1/2 year
battle with Rhabdomyosarcoma.
The movement brought global awareness
to childhood cancers
(the leading cause of death by disease
for children under the age of 15).
Approximately 36 children and adolescences
are diagnosed with cancer every day.
Yet, research for childhood cancers
remain underfunded.
Lane believed that the awareness
that the
Thumbs Up Movement
brought to childhood cancer
would lead to a cure.
remains committed
to fulfilling Lane's mission.
