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.

Meredith Gaffney's younger sister Madeline was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in 2009. Meredith will talk about her role as an older sister and sibling during Madeline's illness, including how she herself had to fight off some very normal and real emotions including some resentment at times, and being on the "backburner" of the family dynamic on occasion.
What has resulted is a much more independent and self confident woman who has always been the best possible sibling, and has taken her love for helping others to her current profession of teaching.
