The Heartbeat of the Party: Why We Fight
Our mission is profoundly personal and fueled by hope. Having seen four siblings survive cancer (Mary, Dave, Jon and Mark), and honoring our father, Ed McMurray, we transform that heartache into action.

Twenty-five years ago, it started simply with our brother Ed's idea: celebrate the holidays and raise money.

Today, your incredible generosity powers that dream, enabling us to advance research and ensure care for families everywhere. You are the fuel for change. Together, we're transforming adversity into a powerful force for good, making a difference in countless lives—just like ours.
