Princesses Do Get Sick

Have you seen the commercial where a little girl says "because I'm a princess and princesses don't get sick." Nice thought, huh? Everytime I hear that I say to myself...no, you're wrong, princesses do get sick...and sometimes they end up going to Heaven to live in God's heavenly throne. I should know because that is where my princess now lives.

It isn't fair that little princes and princesses get sick. Even less that they can get a life threatening illness and die from it. Depressing to think of and no one wants to go there but it is reality. If we keep trying to ignore the elephant in the room...will it disappear? No, it won't.

Pediatric cancer will not go away by ignoring it. Ignorance isn't always bliss. If we keep ignoring it and thinking it is rare...the ones that will suffer are the little princes and princesses.

Please, be a voice for these kids. Help us get the word out...donate to any cause that will help them (a little does go a long way). Help us to find a cure. Maybe then if you hear a child say..."princesses don't get sick" at least we know that if they do get sick...cancer sick...they will be cured and be able to marry their prince...and hopefully live happily ever after.
