Tattoos are often celebrated as a form of self-expression and art. But there’s another side to the story—one that touches the lives of children undergoing radiation therapy. For some young patients, tattoos aren’t a choice; they’re a necessary part of their treatment process. Our photography fundraiser shines a light on this reality while celebrating the beauty of ink as a medium for hope.
The Unspoken Side of Tattoos
While many of us choose tattoos to tell our personal stories, children undergoing radiation therapy sometimes have to receive small, permanent marks to ensure precise treatment. These tattoos, though essential for their care, serve as a reminder of the challenges these brave young souls face. Our goal is to raise awareness about their situation and to support initiatives that improve their treatment experience and overall well-being.
Our Photography Fundraiser
We’re hosting a photography fundraiser that brings together people with tattoos—each image a testament to the power of ink, creativity, and resilience. Through this project, we aim to:
- Celebrate the Art of Ink: Showcase the diverse and beautiful ways tattoos empower and inspire individuals.
- Raise Awareness: Highlight the reality for children who receive tattoos as part of their radiation therapy, emphasizing the importance of research, support, and improved treatment options.
- Support a Worthy Cause: Book your custom portrait session! Pay the $150 registration fee and select a date for a personalized portrait session. All $150 from each session will be donated to Edmarc to support pediatric patients undergoing cancer treatments.
How You Can Get Involved
- Share Your Ink: If you have tattoos that tell your unique story, consider participating by sharing your photos. Your image could help spread awareness and inspire hope.
- Donate: Every contribution makes a difference. Your donation can help fund vital research and support services for children facing cancer.
- Spread the Word: Share this project with friends, family, and your social networks. The more people know about this cause, the greater our collective impact can be.
