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.

Meet Ruth Hoffman:
Ruth is the Chief Executive Officer of the American Childhood Cancer Organization, which is located just outside of Washington, D.C. This is the largest grassroots Pediatric Cancer organization in the United States, and was founded by a group of influential parents who met while their children were all undergoing treatment for various forms of cancer at a local hospital in 1968. Ruth talks about joining this organization as its CEO in 1998 and how it has evolved into such an important piece of this fight to eradicate Pediatric Cancer.
