About The Gabby Krause Foundation blog. Gabby Krause was an amazing six year old who died on September 28, 2004 after a courageous 19 month battle with brain cancer. Gabby loved purple, swimming, and coke-flavored slurpees. She sang, danced, and laughed her way through chemo. She found the silly in everything! It is in her memory that the Gabby Krause Foundation was started, and in her spirit that, 'Bags of Fun' began. The Foundation's goal is to continue her legacy of smiles, zest for life, and the “Grip it & Rip it” attitude that she exemplified while facing life's toughest challenge.
The mission of the Gabby Krause Foundation is to make a difference in the lives of children and their families who are faced with fighting cancer and other long term childhood illnesses.
The Gabby Krause Foundation blog has been started as a celebratory voice to encourage participation and to keep you informed of the great joy your efforts bring to these kids. We’ll share stories of how this foundation is progressing, we’ll post pictures, we’ll let you know of upcoming events and provide links to our wonderful sponsors. We’ll also ask you to post your comments on her blog – we’re always looking for participation and feedback.
