Aug 2013   Since 2003, Washington DC-based Hope for Henry has made life better for more than 10,000 kids bravely fighting cancer and life-threatening blood diseases. While undergoing bone marrow transplants, chemotherapy, and other life-saving procedures, 368 kids have had incredible in-hospital birthday parties; 1,036 kids were entertained and uplifted by gifts of brand new iPads or portable DVD players and gaming systems; 1,675 princesses, superheroes, witches and goblins trick-or-treated in the hospital wearing brand new costumes; 286 girls and moms looked and felt beautiful during their fashion photography session after having their makeup and nails done; and 2,041 kids have met Batman. This is just a small sample of Hope for Henry's entertaining program that produces smile after smile while distracting kids from painful medical procedures and the tedium of long hospital stays that are a necessary part of their treatment.
