Hello, my name is Catherine and I’m a Pablove Ambassador! My first Ambassador experience was representing the Pablove Shutterbugs program at Fox Studios. It was an amazing experience because I never thought I would be on Fox 11 News. It was really fun and exciting to be behind the scenes of a live show taping […]

The holidays are a wonderful time of year. We get time off. We travel. We celebrate with family and friends. We create lasting memories with our kids. It’s an emotionally and spiritually warm time of year. It’s also a time of great challenge for kids with cancer and their families. As a mother who has […]

Stop what you’re doing, and follow me for a minute… Think back to when you were 16. Recall what you were doing on a day like today. The holidays are here. All the hopes of the new year are swirling. Now, imagine being homeless when you were 16. Then, imagine going through cancer treatment at […]

FUND THE GAP? YES! With less than 4% of federal cancer research dollars geared toward pediatric cancers, only a few scientists are able to conduct meaningful childhood cancer research. Additionally, federal funding for biomedical research has been decreasing, which has resulted in an increasingly difficult environment for young researchers to make much needed breakthroughs. The […]

Steven R. Hazlett is a professional photographer and teaching artist for Pablove Shutterbugs New York City. He is a pediatric cancer survivor.

Day 6 – Monterey to Santa Cruz As we headed into the weekend and the last two days of riding, there was a shift among the team. Saturday, Day 6, was a light route, with little climbing and just 47.6 miles, which was welcomed after a very long Day 5. Everyone was looking forward to […]

Today was the long day that people have both been looking forward to, and slightly dreading. There were a few people this morning that I heard say were nervous to start the day, and the ride leaders stepped in to ensure we would have a safe and enjoyable day. We began the morning with rider […]

Today was a good, although deceiving, day.  We woke up to the beautiful sounds of the Pacific Ocean in Pismo Beach – a perfect setting to start the day.  Our morning dedication was given by Townsend Myers and Rusty Roussel to Julian Woods Haney from New Orleans.  Julian has leukemia and is an inspiration for […]

After enjoying a good night’s sleep in Solvang, we kicked off the morning with a dedication to Maddie, a young lady several riders met on Pablove Across America last year in Texas. She made quite the impression on two of our riders, Tom Kattus and Phil Cassens, who gave a very heartfelt speech. Maddie was […]

Today was all about the calming ocean views and time on the bike trail as we rolled from Ventura to Solvang. Our morning dedication was for Jordan Vincent, one of our Shutterbugs Alumni living with brain and spinal tumors. She is now a very talented photographer and we rode in her honor today. It’s scary […]

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Those four words fly right by the ears and eyes of most people. Why wouldn’t they – unless there’s some personal meaning attached to them? September is also back to school month for many families. When most parents are posting their child’s first day of school photo on their […]
