The Butterfly Walk Story

Hanna Paribello is that one child, who inspired The Butterfly Walk. Her battle with Neuroblastoma ended on June 18, 2006. And like so many children battling cancer, Hanna’s life was filled with so much love and support. Today, Hanna’s spirit lives on in all of us who come together, on this day in May, and give support to children continuing to fight cancer, and to families and friends who have lost a child dear to them.
