Wai Hai thar Peeps! ;D

Since my greatest talent is art, I am going to raise as much money as possible for Cancer, WildLife Warriors, and lots of other things that need our help. I am going to help by opening commitions and using the money I get for these causes. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time now, but not as much since reading this tragic story about a boy, and his journey with battling Cancer. I have never wanted to help more, till now. Below I am going to type the whole three paged A4 story just for you guys. I cried when reading the story. I hope you will understand how millions of other people go through every day.
Every year in Australia, 700 children are diagnosed with Cancer. Cyndie French and her son Derek opened up thier lives to Cynthia Hubert for a year to share thier heartbreaking story of his brave battle with the disease.

A Mothers Journey.

Cyndie French sinks into the soft, blue cushions of her sofa and reaches for her son, Derek. He skrowls back at her. He knows he's sick, that is the reason he can no longer go to school, the reason his little sister had to leave their home, the reason the power company shut off the gas. And Derek's angry.
"Leave me alone," He growls at his mother, shifting away from her.
Cyndie, a single mother of five, sighs and begins massaging Derek's shiny scalp as his eyes start to close. She prays that everything will go smoothly today-it is, after all, one of the most important days of thier lives.
Seven months ago, Derek was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggresive cancer that starts in the nerve cells and has invades his bones and internal organs. Today, doctors will punch a whole in his hip, trying to capture enough bone marrow to fine out whether he's eligible for a potentially lifesaving blood stem cell transplant.
Derek is just 10 years old. He's a gangly boy who walks on his tiptoes, prefers his pants baggy and wears his high-top sneakers unzipped. He's all about Star Wars and video games, and not all about the chemotherapy, radiation and CT scans that have defined his life since his diagnosis.
Cancer has changed him, his mother admits. When Derek's feeling good, he's soft-spoken and quick to share sweet treats with his brothers, tender and playful with his little sister and his mum. But lately his pain and fear have become too much for him, and he erupts into uncontrollable tantrums.
Cyndie saves her tears for when Derek and her other children have gone to bed.
"I can't imagine what he's going through," she explains. "No-one can, but i wont cry in front of him. I have to be strong for him."
Cyndie wants to spare Derek the greusome details of the bone marrow procedure.
"They're going to put you to sleep, and when you wake up it will be all over and you'll feel better later," she tells him as they arrive at the hospital. but to Derek, the hospital represents misery, and soon his hands have curled into tight fists, signalling the onset of one of her beloved boys meltdowns.
Luckily, as they enter a halfway leading to the waiting area, Cyndie spots salvation in a form of a wheelchair.
"Get in," she urges Derek. She kicks of her suede thongs, grabs the handles of the chair and starts to push him down the mostly empty corridors. Faster and faster. Over and over.
