Bella Grace TuTu Co.

Hi Everyone I know it's been awhile but we have been busy tutu Diva's around here! My cousin and have started our own TuTu Companies! We started this in honor of her daughter and I am so happy that it seems to be a big hit and we are having alot of fun and that's what counts. I will be posting any fundraisers for my family,information on sales and promotions for Bella Grace and Bella Boo also any updates about our little Diva Ellie!

Thank you again for all your support and all your prayers and here is a little more information to read and become more aware not just for Eliana but for any child suffering from this horrible Cancer.

Eliana Sofia was diagnosed with Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma a VERY rare brain cancer in September 2009 at four months old. She has since had multiple surgeries, 19+ months of chemotherapy, MRI's, CTScans, second and third opinions & the list goes on and on.




Eliana means "God has Answered".. and he most definitely has. Regardless of Eliana's long term outcome we are determined to create awareness and do OUR part in FIGHTING back against cancer!



Ironically Eliana was born in May which happens to be pediatric brain cancer awareness month. So in honor of Miss Ellie Bella Boo we are starting a company making tutu's and other girly accessories to help raise money for pediatric brain cancer research.



Currently there are 130 different types of pediatric brain tumors, making diagnosis and treatment very difficult. At this time, brain cancer research is UNDERFUNDED and the public remains unaware of the magnitude of this disease. The cure rate for most brain cancers is significantly lower than that for many other types of cancer. Pediatric brain tumors aren't like those in adults. Children's brain tumors require specific research and different treatments. Even though survival rates for some pediatric brain tumors have increased over the years. Survivors often suffer from lifelong side effects of treatments. Survivors can have physical, emotional and learning challenges that will limit the quality of their lives all the way into their adult years.

Research that focuses on specifically on pediatric brain tumors is crucial to saving the lives of these children. Only two new brain cancer treatments have been approved in the last 25 YEARS!



A few daunting statistics:

*Brain tumors are the deadliest of childhood cancer.

*Ten children in the United States are diagnosed with brain cancer EACH DAY!

*One out of FIVE of those children diagnosed with cancer will DIE (the rate of brain cancer diagnosis is much higher, around 1 out of 3 children will die from brain cancer)



Please help save our innocent children who need our help in fighting back against cancer. They can't do it alone. It is up to us to fight their fight!



Thank you for your donation or purchase.

May God bless you!
