Help and Hope Happen Here
This Podcast is going to be about Pediatric Cancer and the need to keep the awareness of this terrible disease in the public eye. My plan is to be able to interview a wide spectrum of people who all have a passion and a stake in finding a way to make the lives of these Pediatric Cancer Patients easier. I will interview oncologists, nurses, recovered patients, parents who have had to oversee their children's cancer fight, heads of Pediatric Cancer Foundations and Organizations , and others who would like to use this forum to advocate for these children.

Marian Newell's son Jesse was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma when he was 11 years old in 2001. This diagnosis led to a relapse which turned out to be Leukemia. Marian and her daughter Samantha will talk about their beloved son and brother who did as much living as possible until his passing in July of 2004.
With prior encouragement from Jesse, Marian started the Jesse's Wish Foundation which for over 15 years has helped many Pediatric Cancer Patients and their families. Samantha meanwhile is also heavily invested in this organization, as she is is the President of the Foundation.
