The Butterfly Fund represents the legacy of Emily Barger and Maddie Harrill,
two beautiful little girls that were diagnosed with a rare form of childhood
cancer in 2007, and tragically passed away within weeks of one another in
the summer of 2008.  Together, Emily and Maddie endured over 70 rounds of
chemotherapy and over 50 rounds of radiation in their battle.  Every
treatment and procedure was met with a hopeful look towards life after
cancer and the manner in which they continued to embrace live inspired
people to become better parents, friends, and spouses.  They accomplished
what so many are taught but unwilling or incapable of doing by leaving this
world a little better than they found it.   The Butterfly Fund was organized
in honor of their resiliency and is dedicated to raising support and
awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer.  We are honored to be
flanked by you in this battle and we are forever grateful for your support
that ensures the lives of Emily and Maddie will have a lasting and positive impact on this world.

Forever grateful,

The Butterfly Fund Family
