The Lanie Bug project was created in memory of 5 year old, Alana "Lanie" Isenberg who earned her Angel wings after a long battle with Leukemia on April 28, 2012. We live for Lanie by donating to her friends on floor 9B at Children's Hospital of Pitt, PA
We donate a 100% of our proceeds and donations to the Hemo/Onco Floor at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, PA. Our goal is to continue to live in Lanies memory by making her friends on floor 9b/9c smile. Lanie loved life and no matter how sick she was, she always had high spirits. Childhood cancer is killing our kids. You can chose to turn your head or help out! This 2013 year an estimated 11,630 new cases are expected to occur among children 0 to 14 years of age. Please help and donate any way you can!
Our donations go straight to the kids! We have teamed up with the Child life deparment and are making sure that atleast once a month the kids are recieving something from the Lanie Bug Project!
What the Lanie Bug Project donates:
