City Raises Flag In Honor Of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

This morning, Thorold City Hall held a flag raising ceremony in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month which is held each September. The ceremony was organized by Patti Bauer who lost her daughter Miranda to a rare form of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. “Only four to six cents of the research dollars raised go to the kids,” Bauer said in a speech in front of City Hall. “Four to six cents out of every dollar, that’s it, pennies for our future. We need to change this. We need to destroy cancer, we need more awareness, kinder, more effective treatments and, please God, a cure.” Patti’s daughter Miranda was diagnosed in September 2011 when she was just 16 years old. “My daughter’s cancer accounts for 3% of newly diagnosed cancers worldwide,” says Bauer ThoroldToday. “THE [chemo] The protocol it followed was the first breakthrough in 30 years. We dealt with the hospital for sick children because of her treatment. We discovered information that there was no investigation, so Miranda took it upon herself to start raising funds.” Miranda designed her own T-shirts that read: “screw cancer” and started selling them to fund research. “In June 2012, he hosted an event and raised over $10,000,” says Bauer. “He took it all to the hospital for sick children and gave it to them: ‘Here, do something with this.’ Miranda sadly passed away on March 27, 2013, but Patti and her family have kept her legacy alive in their ongoing efforts to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. They sell Miranda t-shirts and host various fundraisers throughout the year, including the Music for Miracles festival on September 17th. “Our son is in the band Stone Blind,” says Bauer. “He pays tribute to his sister with his music. She was his biggest fan, they were extremely close. For him this is his way of honoring and missing her.” To date Miranda’s Miracles Fund has raised over $145,000 for childhood cancer research. To further raise awareness, Bauer will participate in several other flag-raising ceremonies in other Niagara municipalities this week, and in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, Thorold City Hall will be lit up in gold every night in September. In attendance at this morning’s flag raising ceremony in Thorold were Reed, Griffin and Trenton, all three childhood cancer survivors. “Thank God they survived,” says Bauer. “They are so strong and their families are such a support network for those of us who have lost and those of us who are surviving. It’s a small world, unfortunately, so we lean on each other.” Bauer hopes that through her efforts more people will become aware of childhood cancer so that one day a cure can be found. “You have to know that childhood cancer exists because a lot of people don’t know about it,” she says. “You must know that these are brutal treatments. Children need kinder, gentler, more effective treatments to survive.”
