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.

Faced with some very difficult treatment and its after effects, Chelsea, now 15 years past her diagnosis, is healthy and is working on her next dream as the Associate Director of the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation to help and mentor other pediatric cancer patients.
