SIGN ME UPNo parent is prepared to learn their child has cancer. That’s why Children’s Cancer Connection is here to help you navigate the road ahead. While many great organizations are working to find a cure for the disease afflicting more than 13,500 children each year in the United States, Children’s Cancer Connection strives to provide care following a cancer diagnosis. We offer support, education and recreation for the entire family for the entire journey. Whatever twists and turns you encounter as you adjust to your new normal, you can always count on one thing: Children’s Cancer Connection is dedicated to supporting you the entire way.
Ironglut began in 2011 when a team of triathletes decided to turn their Ironman training into something bigger than themselves. The team was started by Caleb Pike in honor of his Grandfather’s passing after his battle with Cancer. It didn’t take long for Children’s Cancer Connection to become the obvious beneficiary of their efforts. There are many organizations that raise funds for research and to better our fight against cancer, but we wanted to have a different impact. We wanted to see and feel the difference we were making and CCC was a perfect fit for our goals. Children’s Cancer Connection provides services to families that have a child in the battle of their lives through Camp Heart Connection, Hansen Home for Hope and the many other programs they offer. To be a child up against a monster such as cancer can be a defeating realization from the beginning. But with people or organizations like CCC, the battle is made that much more fightable. In a dark time of these families’ lives, they provide a very bright light. East Coast Tae Kwon Do has revived this truly meaningful and memorable fundraiser, both in 2018 and now in their continued efforts in 2020. With a little hard work, a lot of passion, and connecting with a few local businesses and families along the way we are striving to surpass the accomplishments of previous years – but growing each year is only possible with help from people like you; please join us in keeping this going!
