Hope is a beautiful 8th grader at Montgomery Middle School who is presently undergoing treatment of a large mass, a neuroblastoma in her abdominal area. This is a rare disease, that is rarer still in children Hope's age. It requires agressive treatment that is often deemed "experimental" by insurance companies, and therefore, funds beyond insurance are required. The entire Bertelson family appreciates your donations.
