Here is a great video of Kiersten discussing her intention in 2006 to start an organization called “Kier’s Kidz” (see www.kierskidz.com). It captures her passion and goals to create an organization in her name.

She loved the idea of creating something that would help kids with cancer and their families, honor healthcare practitioners who work with these kids, and raise money for pediatric cancer research. She was always loving and giving while she was in the hospital for treatments, rallying the other kids, keeping their spirits up and encouraging them… like maybe of a big sister would!
