This beautiful little girl is Paige Wirth, she passed away from a Glioblastoma Multiforme at 19 months on Oct 13, 2004. I’ve had the joy and pleasure of getting to know her family over the past year, her mom Holly was a huge help with Peyton-Palooza and they are just a phenomenal family.
Holly and David are hosting their third “Back to School” party for the All Children’s Hospital Tampa Oncology Clinic (where Peyton gets treatment) on August 3rd. They provide school supplies for the kids to pick and choose from and they distribute gift cards for the families. They also have been able to provide a special needs family with backpacks packed full for their kids.
What a blessing it is to have these families who continue to do such tremendous things to reach out to the families still battling every day. This is a way that the Wirths celebrate and remember Paige and honor her memory.
This part is directly from Holly’s email—-
“This year we would like to be able to provide each child with school supplies and a gift card to Target or Wal-mart. If you would be willing to help, please pick up a $10 gift card the next time you are out shopping. Our goal is to have 40 gift cards which would be enough for every child that comes to the party.
Please mail the gift cards to my home address:
9714 Laurel Ledge Dr.
Riverview, FL 33569
We are so very appreciative of the support of our friends – helping us to remember Paige, giving back, and helping find the cure!
Holly Wirth”
