Our boy Dalton always wanted to skydive but never got the chance ... so we turned it into a fundraiser to help kids like him. 💚
Join us @SkydiveSuffolk on Aug 2. Step out of your comfort zone (and of a plane) and help us fund pediatric cancer research.

The Annual Dalton Dash 5K and Kids Run brought the community together once again in honor of former @TrantwoodES student Dalton Fox. 🏃♂️💙
The May event supports @D_FeetCancer, the nonprofit founded by his family that has raised more than $740,000 for childhood cancer research.
Students, alumni, and community members not only ran but also volunteered on race day, helping keep the event running smoothly.

When your child has been diagnosed with a rare disease, what is one of the first things you do when you want to know more? "Google it!" July is Sarcoma Awareness Month, this week we are examining Ewing Sarcoma. According the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, rated number 1 in Children's Cancer Hospitals, Ewing sarcoma symptoms can be non-specific and mimic other more common ailments. While symptoms vary from child to child, the most common include:
Sporadic bone pain of varying intensity
Localized pain around the site of the tumor
Limp or limited range of motion in the affected area
Swelling
Redness around the site of the tumor
Fever of unknown cause
Decreased appetite
Weight loss
Fatigue
Numbness, tingling, or weakness (symptoms related to nerve compression caused by the tumor)
Loss of bowel and bladder function (if the tumor is in the spinal region)
Because many of these symptoms can also point to other conditions, it's essential to have your child evaluated by a qualified medical professional right away. #ChildhoodCancer
