Our History
Just simply living life everyday as a family. There is work, school, homework, sports, laundry and dishes (every Mom's favorite). Then BAM you go to the doctor and you hear ....your child has a brain tumor.... Life as you know it STOPS! As a parent you want to just fix it, but you can't. Cancer affects so many lives. It could be a family member, neighbor, friend or even a friend of a friend. Mandie's Miles is our way, as parents, to give back to the Brenner Children's network. The Pediatric Oncology Team offered us the most cutting edge treatments and a wonderful patient centered approach to specialize for Mandie's cancer. Best of all we were right here at home.
