| Welcome to kids for cures (kids4kures)! |
 Hi! Welcome to Kids 4 Cures (Kids4Kures). My name is Emily Flachman. I'm a 6th grader at Charles E. Teach Elementary School in San Luis Obispo, California. I started Kids for Cures (Kids4Kures) in 2009 as a Community Action Project. My idea was to develop a program that would help people who have cancer. My grandmother had cancer and I know she would have been very proud of my choice.
I thought, hey, I'm just a 10 year old kid, but I believe I can really do this. Kids4Kures just made perfect sense to me. I think kids my age can make a difference in the world. We can all work hard together to help find a cure, and hopefully soon! Kids4Kures cards have beautiful illustrations that were hand-drawn by my very special friend, Peaches Olson, who is a great artist and a cancer survivor herself. She has been affected with cancer in her own life so she holds my project close to her heart too. I am donating the profits from the sale of my cards to support the Hearst Cancer Resource Center and other nonprofit cancer charities. The cards are sold in gift packs with envelopes for $20 each. I have included a free bookmark with each set that has my Kids4Kures message for you to share. So please help support my charity, my cause and my dream. Help make a difference with me by buying Kids4Kures cards. You'll really love them, and so will those who get your gift. Remember, Kids can Kure with your help! |
