I'm Riding For

Alexa Hammer

I am the proud grandmother of a courageous young lady, Alexa Hammer. Unfortunately Alexa lost her battle with Neuroblastoma. She fought for over 11 years. There is no cure for this cancer, but there are treatments you can try of course, which she had done, all of them. But none of these procedures guarantee survival. This young girl went through more than most adults have been through in their lifetime. Alexa had been fighting cancer for half of her lifetime. Besides having to deal with all the nasty treatments, hospital stays, and side effects of the treatment for all those years, cancer took so much more away from this beautiful girl, her childhood, teen years, parties, friends, prom, keeping a job, and dating just to mention a minute list of joys she never experienced. Children deserve to be children, to play, grow, and learn. They need all of us to do everything we can to give them that life. I know first hand how amazing SickKids hospital is, but they desperately need funding to find a cure for these children. Please if you can, donate to this cause and if you can't, please share the amazing stories of everyone getting out there to raise money and awareness to fight the fight.
