After our youngest son died from cancer we founded a ministery called "The Little Red Wagon Ministry", which serves meals at Dallas' Children Medical Center and Presby Hospital-Dallas. Out ministry is focused on Cancer support of the patients, family, friends and medical staff by providing meals once a month. We also privide meals to the families at Ronald McDonald House. In the past 9 years the ministry has been able to feed over 12000 people at no charge. We also are guest speakers for Carter Bloodcare, a local blood collection agency, where we tell our story of our son and his battle with cancer and the growing need for blood donations.
