A wag of the tail and a little lick of the face proved that there’s lots of good lovin’ that goes on in the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Not very long ago two cute puppies – Stump and J.R. – came to visit the young patients there. These dogs are champions and so are these children. Everyday they strive to win their fight against leukemia, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma and other cancers. Often they have lovable friends and family members - and sometimes even cute puppies to help them along the way. The Children’s Art Project is there to help, too. Funds raised from selling cards and gifts created from the artwork of the children return to fund special programs that make their lives a little easier. Because of the art project, these young patients can go to school in the hospital, attend summer camp, learn to ski down snowy mountain trails, have the support of Child Life specialists, enjoy special parties and field trips and lots, lots more. But, it’s more than just puppy love when your big hearts pick from our Valentine collection to send to all your loved ones. Our young patients do love visits from cuddly puppies, but they also love the programs they enjoy thanks to the Children’s Art Project and love you, too, for your support and interest. They all want you to be their Valentines again this year.
...cool cards that send Valentine greetings to friends of all ages! Perfect for school Valentine exchanges.
