“It is very important to Cole and I that we give help and hope to others who are dealing with a neuroblastoma diagnosis. We want to inspire others to get involved in the fight against this childhood cancer. Strength is in numbers and together we can change the 4% and help fund research that will change the lives of children with Neuroblastoma. We are committed to finding a cure and never giving up!”
Roger & Nina Roumpf
Roger Roumpf Co-Treasurer/Director Nina Roumpf Director of Events "Nina and I were introduced to the Hull family about three years ago, through the Keene Central mentoring program. Nina was paired with the Hull’s eldest daughter Katie. A very special relationship immediately developed between Nina and Katie. Their relationship provided us the opportunity to connect with the entire family, which has resulted in a wonderful friendship. While attending the first Gala of Miracles, it was shared that of the total funds raised for cancer research each year, only 4% of those funds go to childhood cancer research. Several times over the months following the Gala we found ourselves discussing how can it be only 4%? So when Holly and Cole told us that they were forming Hope for Miracles, and invited us to serve on the board, we were honored to be asked to play a part, in not only bringing awareness of the research needed, but in hopes to, and with the help of others, improve on that 4%."

"It has long been a day dream of mine to help raise money for cancer research. To have been given this opportunity to meet amazing people who share my vision of a world without cancer, is truly humbling. This is for you, DAD!" |
"When my daughter was young, she was diagnosed with a kidney disease and spent time in the hospital. During her stay, She became friends with patients who were living with cancer. Unfortunately, some of those children never received a cure. Since that time, we have been involved in many projects to benefit the children at our local children’s hospital. I feel blessed to now have this opportunity to be part of an organization focused on funding a cure for childhood cancer. "
Kelly LaBombard Blanchard Director 
"The Hull family has a big heart. I believe that they are just the people to bring attention to what many families have been through when a child has a Neuroblastoma. I did not learn of their journey until after their first Gala, and I’m elated to join in their vision for Hope For Miracles. Through the leadership of this team, we are taking action by partnering with Memorial Sloan Kettering to make advances that will aid in treating children with Neuroblastoma."

"I have always known that I wanted to work with children. I have also personally seen the effects of cancer. Being able to combine my love of children, and my dream to see no family struggle with cancer, this makes me hopeful for the future. Through Holly and Cole’s vision countless lives will be touched and I am grateful for being asked to join such a great cause!!" Farrah Whitney Director of Fundraising 
"I joined this great nonprofit in order to get involved in my community and quickly realized just how wonderful this organization is and how much they do for children and families of those that are affected by this horrible disease. Being a part of this amazing group allows me to give back by merging my love for children and my deep need to eradicate all cancers especially those that are inflicted on our most vulnerable population, children. My hope is for this nonprofit to have all the successes it is capable of with the support of generous members of this community and beyond in order to find a cure so that no family ever has to fear about their child being inflicted with his illness. This one's for you grandpa!"
