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.
Help and Hope Happen Here
Brett Fox, who is the Director of Development and Philanthropy for the Non-Profit HOPE CAM will talk about the way that a video conferencing system has been able to allow classmates and Pediatric Cancer patients to communicate virtually.

Len Forkas's son Matt was diagnosed with Leukemia while in 3rd grade. Matt became depressed that he was not able to go to school and communicate with his classmates and friends, so Len created a Video Conferencing System which allows these patients to be in touch virtually with their peers on a daily basis . This non profit is called HOPE CAM and 4500 children and adolescents have been able to use this system, which greatly helps minimize the problem of social isolation.
