As the agency’s newest mission partner, the foundation will collaborate with Cancer Services to develop the new children’s program and joins other mission partners Albemarle Corporation and The Cancer Program at Our Lady of the Lake and Mary Bird Perkins. In light of this partnership with the Bella Bowman Foundation, the services offered to children affected by cancer will now be known as The Bella Bowman Children’s Programs at Cancer Services.<br /><br />In memory of their daughter Bella, Kim and Trey Bowman founded the Bella Bowman Foundation in 2012 after realizing the struggles many families encounter when a child is diagnosed with cancer. The foundation's mission is to create and support research initiatives for pediatric brain cancer, fund new and continuous education and offer comfort care to children and their families. This new partnership with Cancer Services will enable both organizations to better serve these families and children in meaningful ways. "We are honored for the opportunity to integrate the Bella Bowman Foundation's mission into the Children's Program within Cancer Services," said Trey Bowman, co-founder of the Bella Bowman Foundation. "Our unique ability to assist families with the non-medical needs that a family faces following a child's diagnosis of cancer will be of great service to Cancer Services and the families they support. We look forward to helping develop a new children’s program within Cancer Services."<br /><br />Cancer Services Children’s Programs Coordinator Lindsay Wilson underscores the importance of the joint venture, “Together with the Bella Bowman Foundation, we are already planning new and exciting ways of reaching children with cancer and their families through The Bella Bowman Children’s Program of Cancer Services. We have a vision of being a ‘helping hand’ for every family living with a childhood cancer diagnosis in our ten parish area.”<br /><br />In addition to the generous contribution from the Bella Bowman Foundation, the Annual Giving event was made possible through many members of the Baton Rouge community. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana underwrote the event and The Credit Bureau of Baton Rouge matched $25,000 raised that day. All money raised through Cancer Services’ Annual Giving stays in this community to benefit families affected by cancer by meeting the educational, financial and emotional needs that arise with a cancer diagnosis.<br /><br />About The Bella Bowman Foundation<br />The Bella Bowman Foundation aims to create and support research initiatives for pediatric brain cancer, fund educational opportunities and offer non-medical comfort care to children diagnosed with cancer and the families who care for them. The Bella Bowman Foundation was founded in 2012 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Bella Bowman Foundation has a unique ability to address emerging challenges that a family faces following a child's diagnosis of cancer.

brain tumor, it was a rare side effect from proton radiation treatment – brain
stem necrosis – that ultimately took her life. This prompted Bella’s parents,
Trey and Kim Bowman, to establish the Bella Bowman Foundation to help other
families dealing with the struggles of having a child diagnosed with brain
cancer. Part of that help is to further research.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fortunate to have found Dr. Wayne Newhauser, chief of physics at Mary Bird
Perkins Cancer Center right here in Baton Rouge, who is heading a team researching
side effects from radiation therapy.” Dr. Newhauser is also the Dr. Charles M.

grant of $22,000 to the medical physics department of Mary Bird Perkins Cancer
Center to support research that aims to better understand the physics of how
radiation causes necrosis. In particular, the funds provide a stipend to a
medical physics graduate student, who will perform the research under the
supervision of medical physics faculty.
Preliminary results from the study are expected by late 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To the 569 people who attended the Bella Bowman Foundation's second annual Bella’s Ball last Thursday at L’auberge Casino Hotel, we offer up a heartfelt 'Thank You' for opening your heart and donations to support our event and our mission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">For those of you unable to attend Bella's Ball, but who have been such great supporters of the Bella Bowman Foundation, we'd like to share with you some of the evening's highlights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This year, Bella's Ball raised $137,777. This is more than double the amount raised from the first Bella's Ball held last May, just ten months ago. We are very proud to report that the entire event was made possible through donations and with 100% volunteer efforts. This means that all of the funds raised at Bella's Ball go directly to serving children with cancer and their families caring for them during such a difficult time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The compassion from our guests, sponsors, donors and volunteers is so touching to witness and receive. We deeply appreciate the time, talent and treasures that were so generously shared to make the Bella Bowman Foundation and Bella's Ball such a great success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Bella Bowman Foundation will continue to turn your compassion and generosity into gifts of Courage, Strength, Faith and Belief for children that are diagnosed with cancer. The success of Bella's Ball will allow us to continue our mission in the coming year. We look forward to sharing updates with you as our annual planning takes form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
We are so excited to report that the Bella Bowman Foundation delivered our first round of Comfort Care Bags to OLOL Children's Hospital. It is a bag full of items to help families feel more comfortable while they are dealing with difficult issues and decisions and also having to stay for an extended time in the hospital. We hope to be able to donate monthly to the hospital.<br />
<br />
A BIG THANK YOU to Pam Rock, Pediatric Dental Specialist of Baton Rouge, Goudeau's Health Mart Pharmacy, and SOHO Boutique Salon for donating item for the bags.<br />

<span class="userContent">Today and everyday I am thankful for all the support my friends and family have given us throughout our journey with Bella.<br />I want to share this prayer that Brother Bill Compton wrote for Bella when she was 3 years old. She memorized this prayer and she would tell me the prayer every night before we went to bed. It is a very found memory of how strong her faith was and I am very thankful for ha<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
ving! I hope it helps you and gives you the faith, hope, strength and belief that it gave Bella.<br /><br />Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. The father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort us in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.<br /><br />Great and mighty God, we give you thanks this very moment in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, for the miracle that is now taking place in Bella's body, mind, spirt and soul. Dear Father we accept this gift of healing with all joy and confidence knowing that you are indeed able to do this!<br /><br />We are now looking into the future and we see Bella's inner strength fighting off all illnesses and here sprit growing beyond human understanding.<br /><br />Dear God direct her character to never accept any defeat to always be positive and to see to it that only good things come her way.<br /><br />We know that prayers last forever. We thank you every time this prayer is read, uncomprehendable power will fill her body. Let nothing stand in the way of all these request being fulfilled immediately.<br /><br />In Jesus Christ most holy name<br />Amen<br /><br />I can still hear her sweet little voice reading the prayer to me! Happy Thanksgiving!</div>

Trey and Baylor and I went to St Jude this weekend to remember and honor Bella. It was the first time we have been back to St Jude since Bella has died. It was a roller coaster of emotions but we are so glad we went. We got to see the doctors and nurses. They told us that they never got to say goodbye. Her Doctor has her picture in his office. There were so many families and too many children who have died. We will always be a part of the St Jude family and Bella will never be forgotten. With your help we can help St Jude. Go the St. Jude's website and sign up for the Give Thanks walk in November in Baton Rouge. Our teams name is Team Bella. Also if you haven't already please go to Facebook and LIKE our foundation page to get updates! Bella Bowman Foundation page. Please help us spread the word!<br />

You may remember this story from Easter…After church Easter Sunday morning, Baylor, Kim and Trey went to visit Bella at her grave. It was a special day for us. We asked Bella to please let us know that you are OK and this simple prayer was answered. When we got home there was a white dove next to the pond. This dove stayed with us all day. After calling Sister Uyen and sharing this good news, she said “that would make sense, Bella the red bird did not visit me today; she came to see you in her Easter white” This day was very special because Bella sent a sign through to confirm with us that she is OK. Three days later the white dove appeared again right outside of Trey’s office window. This was brief but long enough for a few photos’ and yet again fueling our COURAGE, BELIEF, FAITH and STRENGTH.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

Saturday September 8<sup>th</sup> was Bella’s Birthday. We celebrated that morning at Chick-fil-A with a helium balloon launch. All red balloons with white ribbons tied to them along with a message that children / adults wrote to send Bella in Heaven. We know that Bella received these messages because we found one. While cutting the grass this past Saturday (one week from the launch), Trey ran over a red balloon with a white ribbon. Unfortunately the white ribbon was shredded, but he was able to get the red balloon. This balloon traveled for miles back to Bella’s House and landed directly across the driveway from where we saw the white dove, Easter Sunday morning. No message was attached, because we are sure that Bella kept it. We are confident this is Bella communicating to us, since we never did have these balloon’s at our house…there was not a possible chance that one escaped…This was Bella, fueling our COURAGE, BELIEF, FAITH and STRENGTH! Thank you Bella!<o:p></o:p></div>

Another hard hurdle I had to go through today. This is a picture of Bellas dance bag and uniform from last year. I got it out of her closet because I am registering Baylor tomorrow for her first year of dance at Powell Moise and I needed to know what fit? Well everything fit her. She was so excited to wear her big sis dance uniform. Before Bella passed away I asked her if it was ok if Baylor went to her dance studio. Bella told me yes but not in her class. It is so ironic that Baylor's class time is the same class time Bella's was last year. It is going to be hard to do the same routine without my Bella but what I have learned through many counseling sessions is I have to live through it and make new memories to lift some of the pain. I'm trying to do it but some things are just so hard. I don't know why God has put me through the many hardships in my life that I have gone through in only 39 short years but I can only hope that the payoff is unimaginable and will be amazing!<br />

<br />
I have a story to tell that will remind you how Bella is still here and alive all around us.<br />
<br />
Last week we received a letter from St. Jude asking us to come and participate in a Memorial service honoring Bella and other children who lost there battle with cancer. I had trouble sleeping all week and I just wasn't myself. I kept thinking how am I going to walk the same halls I had last walked with Bella. It was our place. Our memories. Our special place where we used to eat at the Kay Cafe. Our favorite place where I used to read to her while we were waiting for her next therapy. How would I see the doctors and nurses again? It was a lot to take in and I knew that it was a hurdle that I wanted to go through, but the thought of it made me very sad! So I asked Bella to come and help my sad heart and that I needed to know she was still with me.<br />
<br />
Later that night we were having our family movie night on the couch and Baylor brought in blankets for all of us. I really didn't notice which ones she had brought to us but after the movie was over and Trey and Baylor were asleep and I was still on the couch alone, I realized that I was covered in the orange pumpkin blanket that I had given to Bella when we were at St Jude and it was her favorite. She was always wrapped up in it and it always had to be on her bed!!! The crazy thing, this blanket was put away when we came home from the hospital after Bella had passed away and I had not seen it since. I know it was Bella's way of wrapping herself around me when I needed her. I sat and cried holding that blanket. I could smell her! This was her way of telling me that I can do it and she will be there with me! If only I could hear her sweet voice telling me it was going to be ok like she always did, if only I could hold her warm body one more time! I would give up give my life up for that one moment!<br />
<br />
Here are four words that you should take with you today that Trey encouraged and reminded me to keep going and keep her story alive: STRENGTH, FAITH, COURAGE and BELIEF! Anything is possible if you just BELIEVE!<br />
<br />

We had our family and friends with us but it wasn't the same without Bella. My nephew told me that it isn't fun without Bella. Its really hard when you lose your best friend. So I told him that Baylor needs him now and he said, "Oh Ya Im going to take care of her but I still miss Bella!" I'm so glad Bella had him in her life!<br />

I just finished writing my speech for the dance review for Powell Moise. I will be there tomorrow night talking about the foundation. The sweet and talented girls who dance there made up a dance just for Bella! It is probably going to be the hardest thing I have done so far. It was just a year ago that Bella was hurrying home from Proton Radiation to make it to her recital. She put on her purple costume and danced the night away! She always loved her roses she got from her daddy after she was done! Next year Baylor will be there just like her big sister! <br />
<br />
Bella<br />
Mommy is going to need your strength to get thru tomorrow night! I miss you so much!<br />
