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.

Destiny Flood- De Jesus was an 11 year old middle school student when she failed an eye examination that was give to her at her school. Shortly thereafter, Destiny was diagnosed with the Eye Cancer Retinoblastoma which occurred in her right eye. Destiny will talk about the difficulties that she went through during this period and afterwards, and the emergency reconstructive surgery that she underwent 5 years ago. This surgery brought back memories of her own cancer fight which took place 20 years ago and Destiny then decided to write a book called A LITTLE SUPERHERO FIGHTS CANCER. This book was recently published as Destiny is now taking her place as a Spokeswoman for this difficult form of Pediatric Cancer.
