Life is not measured in years as it’s often said, and never has it been more true than the lasting impact and legacy that Tuesday Whitt has left behind.  Her life story has literally been heard around the world, and the hearts she has touched is countless.  Tuesday’s story is one of true inspiration, and her family’s courageousness is nothing short of amazing.  

During her battle with neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer, she was cared for by the Children’s Hospital in Denver.   It’s our hope through “Miles for Tuesday” that we can contribute to the ongoing pediatric cancer research and care that is provided by  one of the nation’s best centers for treating childhood cancer.
