September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month--there is a walk at Sugarhouse Park Sept. 23,




September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and all 58 Kneaders Bakery & Café locations throughout the nation will sell elephant-shaped sugar cookies and "Hope Fights Childhood Cancer" campaign-themed retail items to benefit the groundbreaking work of Dr. Joshua Schiffman, world-renowned oncologist, hematologist, teen cancer survivor and respected cancer researcher. Schiffman's team has been exploring a cancer-fighting elephant protein called p53, which helps protect elephants from developing cancer. Humans only have two copies of p53, and some children that get cancer only have one copy of p53 in their DNA. Since announcing the discovery of the elephant p53 protein, Dr. Schiffman and his research team have been working around the clock to bring the discovery to human trial.

Mary hasn't signed Anthony up for a group for the walk at Sugarhouse Park.
Adam thinks they will be going.  When they sign up I will make a new post.
