very proud of my brother, scott today.
Solving Kids’ Cancer
Today, Scott Kennedy, Executive Director, Solving Kids’ Cancer, and Joe McDonough, Founder and President, The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, presented a check to Duke University Medical Center to bring oncolytic virus therapy to children battling high-grade brain tumors. The adult trial, leveraging the re-engineered polio virus, has shown very promising results and this new pediatric trial gives tangible #hope to children who are desperately seeking new treatment options.
You can make a difference to children with cancer. Your donations directly fund innovative new treatments for children battling cancer today.

open doors.
one day gerald mysteriously appeared
with a note and a friendly greeting
left by an unknown visitor
and
he moved into
the fairy community at my cottage
i know they welcomed him
with open arms and open doors.
