About

The lives of Hope Fimiani, age 2 and Michael Sparkman, age 7, tragically ended in October 2008 as a result of Leukemia and Lymphoma.

The non-profit foundation, A SPARK OF HOPE, has recently been established by Michael’s and Hope’s families to support families, raise awareness and raise research dollars for pediatric cancers.
