The Prayers From Maria Sunflower field is located in Avon, OH. This field and foundation funds global research for gliomas, the deadliest form of childhood brain tumors. The foundation was started by the parents of Maria McNamara, a 7 year old girl who lost her battle with this disease. Since 2014, the foundation has planted a 50 acre sunflower field to draw attention to the lack of funding to childhood cancer, to honor Maria, those fighting cancer, and those who have lost their battle. In August 2016 the City of Avon declared the Sunflower to be the Official Flower of the City of Avon in honor of Maria and the Sunflower Field she inspired. People can purchase Prayer Dedications tags and write and attach them onto the sunflowers. Volunteers are there daily to collect donations. If anyone has a free day from now until the end of the September I suggest making the drive to visit this beautiful place. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 • • • • • ________________________________ #myohioadventure #beautifuldestinations #fieldofhope #prayersfrommaria #pursuepretty #seeksimplicity #vsco #vscocam #childhoodcancer #thegreatoutdoors #optoutside #getoutstayout #wildernessculture #adventurethatislife #neverstopexploring #letsroamohio (at Prayers from Maria Sunflower Field)
