Love Your Melon!

Happy Spring!



I'm so excited to announce being apart of the Love Your Melon campaign. Some of you may know, my dad (aka my hero) is a neonatologist - so from a very young age I was exposed to seeing sick, premature infants (some so small you can fit them in your hands) when I volunteered in his office.  Love Your Melon is dedicated to fighting against pediatric cancer, so when I was asked to be a part of the cause, I was more than honored. This is something I really believe in. 

From their website: "The Love Your Melon Campus Crew Program is an exclusive Crew made up of students that are determined to improve the lives of children battling cancer. Campus Crew Members are the driving force behind Love Your Melon. In communities across the country, our Crew Members raise awareness for childhood cancer, represent the brand through promotions and sales events and personally engage with our charitable programming initiatives." 






Here are the facts: 

- Childhood cancer is not just one disease. It consists of over 100 different subtypes. The most common childhood cancer is acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).

- The average age of a child diagnosed with cancer is 6

Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease past infancy for U.S. children

Two-thirds of childhood cancer patients will have long lasting chronic conditions from treatment
