P.S. I Adore You + Skunkboy

Costa Rica Vacation This month I'm partnering up with P.S. I Adore You to be their "Cancer Cutie" sponsor.  What does this mean exactly?  Well, every month P.S. I Adore You chooses a child who is battling cancer, and for that entire month, 10% of their flash deal site revenue goes to that child to help pay medical bills. I'm happy to be the January sponsor and share a little more about sweet Miles with you.  Here is a little bit about Miles' story from his mother:

"Our sweet baby Miles came to the pediatric emergency room after a week of fever and tummy pain. After an ultrasound found a large tumor near his kidney, we were admitted to the Pediatric Dept. at Banner Thunderbird Hospital. Through the week of tests we’ve discovered the cancer to be Neuroblastoma with a main tumor larger than a softball grown next the his adrenal gland. The tumor was too large, well supplied by blood vessels and entangled around his aorta to remove during his biopsy surgery. Further tests show his bone marrow and skull to be infected as well. Miles’ cancer is the most aggressive type with a current survival rate of 40-60%. Our Pediatric Oncologist is Dr. Graham.  He started chemo today and will have marrow transplants, radiation and other therapies once the tumor has decreased to a manageable size.
Miles is the toughest little boy, he’s so sweet, happy and active and previously so healthy. We know we have a huge battle but we will fight it. We are going to beat this and get our baby back to the little boy we all know and love."

**If you're interested in reading more about Miles, you can check out his Facebook page where updates are made frequently.  Or, if you would like to donate to Miles, you can find his Go Fund Me page here.  P.S. I Adore You will be supporting Miles all month long!  xo.
