Welcome to Lydia's World

It is with great sadness that we announce that
the July 19th Luau fundraiser at the The Ugly Moose
has been canceled.

We would like to thank the Ugly Moose for their generosity.

Thank you to everyone who has worked so tirelessly. The time and effort you put into planning the event, practicing with the band and handing out flyers is greatly appreciated.

We remain dedicated to supporting quality of life issues facing children who are being treated for childhood cancer. Our aim is to create awareness of neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. Someday soon there will be a cure.

For information about neuroblastoma please e-mail lydiasluau@verizon.net

About Neuroblastoma

Neurblastoma is a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system effecting about 650 children in the US every year. Why neuroblastoma strikes is a mystery. There is currently no way of knowing what child will get this disease or even what causes it. There is currently no cure and the survival rate is less than 40%.
The Relapse survival rate is 0%.
