The loss of a child to cancer is one of the worst tragedies a family can face. Sherrie and Michael Wells started the Hugs for Brady Foundation in 2009, shortly after their 13 month old son, Brady Michael, was diagnosed with Non-Differentiated Acute Leukemia, a very rare form of leukemia. In 2010, Brady passed away at 23 months old, after he had bravely battled the disease for ten months.
Their goal is to help in any and every way possible to ease the pain of the children and their families who have cancer. Hugs for Brady pledges that every dollar donated will be spent in the pursuit to help find a cure for pediatric cancer. Their 2015 campaign video below helped Hugs for Brady pass the million dollar milestone to help kids with cancer. If you are inspired to help, read more on their website.
