Curing Cancer With Cafe Racers

There is nothing better in life than paying it forward to help others out. For one its good karma and two, you reap what you sew. Seeing a kid suffer through anything is tough to stomach and we should do what we can to help out. Below is from a post on CafeRacerTV.com/blog about helping kids in need of some help.

"That’s right folks! You saw it last night on Cafe Racer!

About Curing Kid’s Cancer:



Grainne and Clay Owen created Curing Kids’ Cancer only a year after losing their nine-year-old son Killian to leukemia. Grainne was the driving force behind starting the charity. She launched Coaches Curing Kids Cancer during an appearance on the 2004 WSB Care-a-thon raising money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The idea: Asking kids’ sports teams to donate money in honor of their coach instead of buying a gift. Coaches didn’t go without a gift however. In return for a donation, coaches were sent a t-shirt and a personalized certificate. “I hoped that we could raise $5,000 that first season,” Grainne said. “We raised $45,000 – and knew we had a great idea on our hands.” Grainne has raised more than $1 million since that time.
