Loveland, Ohio – My name is Julia and this year I’m turning 12. My birthday is exciting but also hard because my twin brother, Grant, isn’t here to celebrate with me. Four years ago, he passed away from Medulloblastoma, a kind of brain cancer. He was my other half, my best friend, and I miss him every single day.
I think about all the things we should have done together—first days of school, family vacations, and cheering each other on at activities. There’s so much he didn’t get to do, and that’s why I’m writing to you.
Every year since passed, I’ve worked to raise money to fund a research grant in his memory. It’s my way of making sure that other families don’t have to go through what mine did. I’m proud to say that, thanks to our amazing community, Grant’s Wolf Pack, we’ve been able to make a difference every year.
This year, I’m asking for $12 donations in honor of our 12th birthday. Every dollar raised will go toward finding better treatments, helping kids like Grant and bringing us closer to a cure.
If you can, I’d love for you to join “Grant’s Wolf Pack” by donating $12 (or whatever you can) and helping us keep Grant’s memory alive. Together, we can give other kids the chance to grow up and do all the things my brother couldn’t.
Thank you for reading my letter and for being part of something so important to me. It means so much to my family.
With love,
Julia
P.S. If you’d like to donate, you can do so at GrantForGrant.com Thank you for being part of our pack!
