Hope is Here to Stay is a true story about the dreams of Lauren Evelyn Loose, her Mom Marianne, her Dad John and her sister Gracie to help others, like themselves, who are battling childhood cancer. Despite all she has been through, Lauren is a happy, enthusiastic and optimistic child, with a crazy, infectious laugh and a true love for life. No matter what challenges are placed before her, she never gives up. Her courage, resiliency and relentless spirit are an inspiration to those who know her. Lauren's First and Goal Foundation is a 501c3 charitable organization created to raise funds to support pediatric brain tumor research, support local pediatric cancer services, provide financial assistance to families living with a pediatric cancer diagnosis and to raise public awareness regarding pediatric brain tumors. It is our hope that through Lauren's example, we can help to improve the lives of other children and families dealing with pediatric cancer. Visit www.laurensfirstandgoal.org
