Imagine being told your child or grandchild has cancer?
Your whole life is turned upside down
For the next 3-5 years you will be in and out of the hospital, you may need to move to another state for treatment. Most families will have at least one parent who must stop working. Single parent households often have no money coming in. Incomes are going down while the bills are piling up.
This is where JUST TRYAN IT steps in. We help families whose children are in cancer treatment pay the bills. Recently we helped a single mom whose car, her only way to get her daughter to the hospital for treatment, was repossessed. Our grant helped her get more affordable transportation, so that her daughter could get to the hospital for treatment.
The way we raise most of our money is truly unique. We host a fun non-competitive Kids Triathlon that engages kids ages 6-14 to swim, bike and run to support families in cancer treatment. All of them agree to raise at least $50 and some raise way more than that $5000-$15,000.
