“We wanted to say thank you for the assistance B+ has provided. The loss of my income has definitely made things harder, but I wouldn’t trade the time I get to spend with Helena now while I care for her for anything.”
“Audrey’s Children” Opening March 28th
Mark your calendars for March 28th for the opening of an incredible film. Natalie Dormer (Hunger Games, Game of Thrones) stars as Dr. Audrey Evans, the first female hematology/oncology chief at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Forever Changed
January 29th never used to mean anything to me. That is until 2007. It was on that day that my family would forever be changed…and certainly not for the better. Just two days earlier, my 14-year-old son helped lead his travel soccer team to a Pennsylvania State Championship.

Last Chance!
I don’t want anyone to experience a diagnosis of cancer for their child. Can you imagine hearing that BOTH of your twins have cancer???
Running to Make a Difference
Last Saturday, I did something that I never thought possible. I ran 20 miles as part of my training for the TCS New York City Marathon on Nov. 3rd.
All Kinds of Good Stuff!
While it’s hard for me to believe that this was our 18th golf outing, it was…and it was very successful.
Running for the B+ Heroes!
In less than 6 weeks, I will tackle the 26.2 mile NYC Marathon as part of the B+ Running Team. I plan to write 26 names on my arms as my motivation for each mile.

“Dear Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, My name is Javin, though many know me as Vina. I am eighteen years of age and like Andrew, I was diagnosed with AML.

You make such a difference. We’re not “strangers”, we’re ‘friends we haven’t met yet’.
