Cancer continues to be the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States.

Since April, it has been a very sad, difficult time for the Brian Morden Foundation. Three of our young people, Maddie Shura, Emma Auker, and Kiera Shura have passed away. Also, one of the BMF’s biggest supporters, Robert Suckling - Brian’s PopPop, passed away, too. In memory of these four and in honor of all children who battle cancer, help us turn the world gold this September. Here are 10 ways you can get involved.

1. Attend our kick-off event at the Altoona Curve game on September 3^rd. 
2. Join the Brian Morden Foundation team of Alex's Million Mile! This September teams around the world are logging all the miles they run, walk or ride and together so that we will reach 1 million miles for childhood cancer awareness.
3. Dine out all month to help fight childhood cancer – link to our restaurant coupons that will donate a portion of your bill’s amount to the BMF. Please take a careful look at the dates! Chipotle, Bob Evans, Applebees, Hoss’s (Altoona and Duncansville), TGI Fridays, Texas Roadhouse.
