Jean in AZ

[Guest guest]

Hello Jean,

 

Just wondering what part of AZ you're in? We're in Tucson. Our 6yr

old is a 3yr survivor from Germ Cell yolk sac solid tumor cancer.

She's also been an ovo-veg since birth. We work a lot with local support groups

like Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation, The Melonhead Foundation, and

the fundraiser we started Runway for Research.

 

Anyway, my question is are there any materials geared especially for

kids that I could steer towards the CCCF? Possibly any cooking

instructors in Tucson that might be interested in doing a seminar/

demo for interested parents? My husband works for a culinary school

so I might be able to arrange a demo in their kitchens, possibly.

 

Thanks for any advice you have for our beautiful girl :-)
