Hello and welcome,

My name is Mark Dungan but, perhaps, I am better known as "Daddy" to a beautiful 8 year old little girl.  Sydney, my daughter, was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma in June of 2003.  She continues her struggle but serves as a constant reminder of how strong and resilient our little children are.  Although she has received over 8 rounds of high dose induction chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, a stem cell transplant, 12 rounds of radiation and years and years of  painful immunotherapy and maintenance chemotherapy there is no guarantee that she will survive.  Neuroblastoma is an extremely difficult cancer to beat and she, like thousands of others, fight this battle with little guarantee of a future.

It was her inspiration and others that led hundreds of families to unite to try and fund the cure.  We started "Lunch for a Cure" in an effort to save our children and the thousands that will follow.  The concept is simple.  We are asking everyone in the world to give up lunch for one day and donate the money to research.   All funds raised through "Lunch for a Cure" go directly to neuroblastoma. It is an easy price to pay and, if we can get enough of the world to take a stand against childhood cancer, thousands and thousands of lives will be saved.

Please help us change the world.  It is just one lunch but it will be the very gift that provides thousands of children with what they need the most -- a Cure!  Please donate your lunch money to the Neuroblastoma Foundation and help us eradicate this monster.  Give up a lunch.  Spread the word.  We will save lives.

Sincerely,
