Team Corinne

We are raising money to conquer childhood cancer by supporting groundbreaking research and innovative care at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). 

Why this is important to our team: 

Our beautiful daughter Corinne was diagnosed in March, 2022 with Stage IV Rhabdomyosarcoma and fought bravely for 14 months before passing away on May 20, 2023. Corinne remained incredibly positive throughout her surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Her infectious smile and hope for a cure drove her to continue to live her life with humor and unwavering strength. She was saddened to see other young children with cancer and was determined to raise money to conquer cancer. 

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare aggressive cancer that needs more funding to find a cure. Please help us raise money so that no other family has to lose a child to cancer.

PATIENTS NEED US: Parents shouldn’t have to hear the words “your child has cancer,” but 1 in 285 children in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they are 20 years old.

BREAKTHROUGHS ARE UPON US: Every day, CHOP’s Cancer Center team is redefining what a cancer diagnosis means for a child. The center offers the most advanced therapies available anywhere in the world, including cutting-edge clinical trials that reprogram the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. CHOP’s Center for Childhood Cancer Research is one of the most distinguished research programs in the nation.

How You Can Help:

MAKE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT TODAY: 100% of every donation to the 2022 Parkway Run & Walk, presented by Citadel, will help CHOP make important breakthroughs in understanding the causes of childhood cancer, developing new treatments that will improve outcomes for children, and one day may lead to a cure for childhood cancer.
