Lucy's Love Bus Charitable Trust
My daughter, Lucy, started Lucy's Love Bus when she was nearing the end of her life after a long battle with a rare blood cancer. She lost more than 20 friends to cancer during her 4 years in the hospital and noticed that our bereaved friends were all raising money to find cures for childhood cancers. One day she said, "But really, Mama, a cure won't help us today. Cures are very important, but what matters most to us kids is feeling good today- right this minute." Lucy wanted to offer comfort and quality of life until a cure, and so Lucy's Love Bus- and my life's work- were born that moment.
