Battle Pups

When a child is going through something difficult a stuffed animal can bring comfort. The Martin family began a non-profit called Way to Battle after their son, Blake, was diagnosed with cancer. They want every child and their siblings to have something to hold onto as they battle through their illness. You can nominate your child for a free Battle Pup on their website today. www.waytobattle.com

Support for Families
