Please join Team Chappy at the Parkway Run/Walk on Sunday, September 30th. This is our 5th year participating in this event since Leah Chapman started the team. Our goal is to raise $18,000 this year to reach a five year total of $100,000. We hope that you can join us for this fun, family-friendly event which supports pediatric cancer research at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
When Leah was diagnosed with advanced Rhabdomyosarcoma in January 2008 we were devastated, but that was nothing compared to the devastation we've been feeling since she lost her battle to the disease the following year on April 4, 2009. No family should suffer this pain.
We walk and run In Loving Memory of Leah (14), Rachel (cousin), Josh W (14), Dayna (15),Brandon (9), Kayla (7), McKenzie (7) and in honor of Mario (8), Marco (19), Celeste (18), Lauren (13) and ALL the children that continue this battle for a cure.
With your help we CAN make a difference in finding a cure.
Date: Sunday, September 30, 2012
Place: Four Seasons Hotel, One Logan Square, Philadelphia, PA
5K Run/2K Family Walk: 8:30 a.m.
Breakfast Buffet: 9:00 a.m.

Here is some information and recent statistics on Childhood Cancer taken from CureSearch.org:
Cancer remains the number one cause of death by disease in children. Despite major advances - from an overall survival rate of 10 percent just forty years ago to nearly 80 percent today, for many rare cancers the survival rate is much lower. Furthermore, the number of diagnosed cases annually has not declined in nearly 20 years.
*Every day, 36 children are diagnosed with cancer.
*One child out of five who is diagnosed with cancer dies.
*Children's cancer affects all ethnic, gender and socio-economic groups.
*The average age of children diagnosed is six.
*More than 40,000 children undergo treatment for cancer each year.
*Three out of five who survive children's cancer suffer late-effects, such as infertility, heart failure and secondary cancers.
