As you may know, Cindy & I volunteer for the Flashes of Hope chapter here in Chicago. We provide free portraits to children with cancer and raise money for pediatric cancer research. I am asking you to sponsor us to photograph these children who have taught us the meaning of courage and an appreciation for life.
Our corporate clients appreciate our work when they see themselves in a flattering light. But with Flashes of Hope shoots we can often change the way kids with cancer see themselves.
It has been a privilege to provide this gift which forever preserves the grace, beauty and dignity of every child. The devastating reality is that for many of these families, it is the last photograph of their child. Unfortunately, research is severely under funded with less than 4% of federal funding going toward children's cancer research!
Cindy & I always look forward to photographing for Flashes of Hope. It's a small way to honor the courage of children with cancer.
Please consider helping Flashes of Hope raise funds to photograph the children and to accelerate a cure for children's cancer through research. We are not participating in a walk or running a marathon. We are walking beside these amazing children all year as they fight for their lives.
Thank you for helping us to continue to make children with cancer smile and fund research in Chicago and across the country.
With sincere appreciation,
Bill & Cindy Koechling, Flashes of Hope Chicago Chapter
