Why We Walk
Until we achieve a cure, our efforts will ensure these families receive the comfort, relief, support and fun to help them in the ultimate fight against these diseases. Please join our foundations in the fight to CURE Pediatric Cancer and other serious illnesses.

The Desi Strong Foundation is geared to help children facing cancer feel that love &amp; support that Desi was so graciously granted. Together we will fight this beast called Childhood Cancer &amp; help fund for a cure.

We can’t all be doctors or cancer researchers or caregivers, but walking with us can raise the money that makes their work possible. And in the meantime, help children and their families feel the love while they fight these horrible diseases.

                "description": "Purpose:\nWe were completely powerless when it came to curing Desi's disease.  Desi would have less than 5 weeks in between treatments which always kept us on our toes.\n\nWe learned so much about her disease, the treatments that could keep her alive, the horrible side effects that these treatments had on her body and spirit and most importantly, how to be Desi's advocate.  After each treatment we would do our best to catch the side effects early so that we could minimize the pain and nausea that Desi would endure.  \n\nOutthinking the disease and trying our best to curb the side effects of the treatments made decisions very complicated; the energy that we spent fighting the side effects became so significant that it was hard to imagine that she was fighting cancer as well.\n\nThis daily routine was exhausting, we know this firsthand.  We want to help lighten the load of families who are going through the hardships and obstacles that Desi and our family went through.\n\nWe want to provide children and their families with items that made our extended stays in the hospital more manageable and our daughter's treatments more comfortable.  We want to assist with providing money for food, gas and other expenses.  We want the siblings of the patients to know that they have not been forgotten.\n\nThrough our own experiences we saw our daughter benefit from having a doll as a therapeutic tool.  We are very interested in designing and producing a \"Desi Doll.\"  While Desi was fighting cancer she would treat her dolls like her patients, they too had cancer.  She would give them IV's, ports and check their vitals.  Caring for them as if she was their doctor.\n\nThe Desi Doll will emulate everything that Desi was and continues to be.  The doll will reflect children that are fighting cancer by being bald and have the ability to be cared for.  It is our mission to have the foundation provide dolls to as many children fighting cancer as we can reach.\n\nOur most important goal is to raise funds to find a cure for pediatric cancer in Desi's name.  Please help us in this fight!\n\nDesi has taught the world so many things in her 6 years of life.  She danced through chemo, loved unconditionally & never lost her beautiful smile.  We want every cancer fighting child to feel the love that Desi was so graciously given.  Please help us fight this fight, for the future of our children.  No child fights alone!"
