Stomp the Monster™ Team In Action
Yes... we've been busy with the 5K, and yes, we are now filling the pipe with future stomps since - thanks to you - Stomp the Monster now has more resources to work with. But, we've also been busy helping folks in need, right now.
Recently, Stomp the Monster was contacted by a mother in need. Only 2 months after, heartbreakingly, losing a 4 year battle with her son's leukemia, the mother was diagnosed herself with breast cancer. Struggling to get back on her feet after surgery to remove the tumor, with only a small family for support, Stomp the Monster stepped in with food, gas cards, and the encouraging knowledge that she was NOT alone.
Stomp the Monster is not just about charity - it's about squeezing out the biggest impact with the funds raised, being an advocate, and building teams.
If you know someone fighting cancer, who needs some help, let us know.
