A few weeks ago, Lanie, 11, was at her church, Tyro United Methodist, with her family when she was witness to a presentation by a local nonprofit. Charlie’s Champions, which states on its website the organization “exists to provide love, hope and support to families whose children battle cancer,” shared its mission with the congregation. Determined to take action to make a difference, Lanie consulted with her father, Kevin, about using her talents to assist.
