Fellow parent in Silver Spring Eric Allen is a 13-year cancer survivor. After chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, he has been cancer-free since 1998. And now (with the help of his wife Savena and their two kindergarten-age daughters) he has taken up the challenge to raise $113,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) and the goal of eradicating cancer!

You can make a donation to Eric’s page in order to help his reach his fundraising goals (100% of all funds go directly to LLS cancer research and advocacy!).

UPDATE: Family Fun Day at Meadowbrook Park (aka Candy Cane City) has been cancelled due to an unexpected death in the family.

Not only is the Allen family taking up a noble cause, they’re also producing entertaining videos to spread their cancer-fighting message!
