Each year, Cal's Angels #GlowWalk raises funds for pediatric cancer research and honors affected children by shining a light on their stories; for the Green family, they GLOW for their warrior, Maggie. 🌟 Diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma in 2022, Maggie endured numerous surgeries, radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy treatments, all with unwavering bravery. Sadly, she passed away just over a year later in 2023. Her family remembers her as “hilarious, thoughtful, wise, and quite simply, the BEST.” Maggie dreamed of growing up to become a nurse just like her mom to help more children like herself. Her selflessness and caring nature left a lasting impact on all those who knew her; “she was the spark and light in all of our lives.” 🎆 Saturday, September 28th, help us light up the night with hope and strength for all those impacted by pediatric cancer at #GlowWalk2024.
