As 2012 begins and Valentines approaches, we think of all the enjoyable and loving moments we share with our families, friends and special loved ones. At the University of Texas MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital laughter, hugs and hope abound as teams of doctors, nurses, teachers and family members care for the young patients. A purchase of Valentines cards, stationery with hearts or a phone cover decorated with pink flowers all create sales proceeds which are invested directly into pediatric patient programs at MD Anderson – giving hope, normalcy and a promising future for young lives interrupted by cancer. Since 1973, the Children’s Art Project has returned more than $29 million to support ski trips, summer camps, art classes and college scholarships.
Caitlyn
age 16, is a high school sophomore in Katy, Texas. She is a good student and an avid soccer player. She loves to shop and socialize with her friends. She and her mother also work as volunteers with the Lady Bird Chapter of the National Charity League. Caitlyn’s encounter with Burkitt’s lymphoma was brief, intense and very successful, but the lessons she learned through rounds of chemotherapy still resonate in her life. Caitlyn knows firsthand that contact with family and friends can brighten spirits and help children forget about their treatment while staying socially connected. She has participated in Camp A.O.K. the last two years—one of the programs funded by the Children’s Art Project. She learned that being bald was no big deal at camp. All the other kids understood what she was going through. Her desire to help others grew out of her treatment, and it has also helped her focus on a career choice. Caitlyn would like to be an anesthesiologist at MD Anderson so she can help in the treatment of children with cancer. We know Caitlyn has the staying power and determination to make it!
