Yesterday marks 6 years since Emily Ransom flew to heaven. She was a vibrant, blonde headed, pink loving 2 year old who put up an amazing fight against neuroblastoma, the cancer that ultimately took her life, and taught everyone around her what it means to love and what it means to persist.
Here at St. Peter's, we celebrate Emily with Pink Day every year--dressing in our pinks and reds, parading out to Emily's garden carrying signs and posters, and remembering to Pink It Forward. When someone shows you kindness, keep that kindness going by showing it to someone else.
Throughout the month of February and into March, we will be collecting coins in our classroom to benefit Emily's Power for a Cure, the nonprofit organization Emily's parents, Wendy and Jonathon Ransom, started in her honor. This small organization has managed to perform huge feats for our community. Last year, the organization was proud to unveil the southeast's first child-specific CT scanner at our very own T.C. Thompson's Children's Hospital at Erlanger. In addition, they provide support for local families dealing with neuroblastoma.
Please join the fight and keep the pink power going by Pinking it Forward with your kindness and your coins!
