When we think of 10-year-old girls,the first things that come to mind may be ballet,kitchen science experiments and crazy photo faces.There’s a special bond between young girls and their moms before life fills up with more demanding schoolwork,career choices and the stress of being a grown-up.
For Joyce Phillips,taking on adult emotions came sooner than expected.Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when Joyce was 10 years old.The thought of losing her mother at such a young age must have been troubling Joyce.But instead of waiting out the process on the sidelines,Joyce decided to join the fight against cancer so that other kids wouldn’t have to experience the pain she was going through.
Joyce loves to sew.She wanted to make something to sell and also advertise her need for help.While trying to piece together a solution,she hit upon the ubiquitous coffee cup.People everywhere seem to be on the go in the morning with their cup of take-out coffee.So Joyce designed a coffee cup sleeve and created her non-profit Cozys for the Cure.It was a hit.Today,Joyce has raised over $120,000 to help fund breast cancer research.It all started with a desire to help.She lets us know each of us has the ability to make a difference,no matter how old or how young.
Joyce’s mother won her fight with cancer,but unfortunately,many more women and mothers will be affected.With kids like Joyce in their corner,perhaps the next best treatment will come a little sooner,save a few more lives,and means mothers and daughters will have a little more time to have fun together.
