Eat ice cream = help sick kids. JUST that simple

Just in case you didn’t know.

My kid had cancer. She was only two years old.  She looked like this:

peyton.06.12.21.90She endured two and half years of chemotherapy and radiation treatment…she had to go through THIS:

peyton.06.09.26.01Yup, that’s a needle in her chest.  Good times.

peyton.07.06.05.11Doesn’t THIS look like fun?  And yes, she is strapped to a table.

Just one of what felt like a million hospital stays

Well, there were lots of laughing times too.

But NOW?

She is cancer-free and she started kindergarten last week as a healthy five-year-old, looking like this:

A lot of people had a hand in helping us get to this point.

Our doctors and nurses at All Children’s Hospital in St. Pete, FL being front and center in her cancer battle….a Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

Today, August 13, Dairy Queen is having their annual Miracle Treat Day and a portion of all sales of Blizzards will go to the Children’s Miracle Network hospital in YOUR area….your DQ = your hospital = your local kids getting the care they need and deserve.

Like Peyton.  They all deserve a chance at the best treatment and care they can receive.

I encourage you….no, I BEG you…go have ice cream.  Really? Do I need to beg you to EAT ICE CREAM?

And? If you don’t have a DQ near you, you can donate directly online to the Children’s Miracle Network.
