Teardrops to Rainbows (T2R) is a recognized 501(c)(3), organization based in Fairfax, Virginia which provides support, services and financial assistance to area children with cancer and their families. T2R plays an active role in helping families through the many stages of treatment for a life-threatening illness. Lois Lyons, a tornado of passion and compassion, founded this organization in memory of Rachel Crossett. Rachel, after a three-year battle with neuroblastoma, has left a leagacy of hope, support and continued education for individuals and families touched by the challenges this disease presents.
I had the honor to attend my second T2R annual fund raising event at the Ritz Carlton in Tyson's Corner last week. This organization is so child and family focused and the continuous work the founder and her army of an all volunteer team does brings smiles, relief and as we all experienced last Thursday night tears of joy that we might all contribute to a greater good.
I encourage each and every member of the Yelp community that will read this review to view their website. See how you can volunteer and by all means spread the word about this fantastic group of people to help expand the many helping hands needed to keep doing what they do to help others!! read more
