I thank the families who have given me permission to use their children's picture on my website. Words cannot express how honored I am.

As an advocate of childhood cancer, I use Facebook to raise awareness.

Unfortunately, alleged scammers have infiltrated the childhood cancer community on Facebook, with complete lack of care for the kids fighting cancer, who have fought cancer, or whose lives were taken away by cancer.

To protect the children and families from scammers using the children's pictures and stories, I had to make the unfortunate decision to remove all pictures until I can find a solution to this problem.

While the website will not have the same impact without the pictures, I felt that the children's and families' protection outweighed the risks of including the pictures.

I hope to still be successful in raising awareness effectively through the website.
