We have taken this opportunity to focus on our family and love one anther. With that being said, this past month and a half we have missed out on events, but the bar crawl is our come back event,” expressed Dana Schultz, brother of Todd.
In 2013, right before the beginning of his freshmen year of high school, Todd was diagnosed with High Risk Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, which is an aggressive form of blood cancer. Because of his experience at such a young age, Todd made it his mission to change pediatric health care. In 2015, he created Painting the Town Gold. Through this outstanding local cause, Todd has been able to raise $200,00 + for pediatric healthcare. Recently, at age 19, this young man received news that his cancer was back.
Schultz concluded with, “We are looking forward to seeing you all out and cannot wait to celebrate and support Todd in this fun and exciting event.”
