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.

Misty Hughes was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia just before her 9th birthday. As she recovered from this form of Pediatric Cancer, she decided to establish her main goal in life which was to help and serve others. Misty has accomplished this goal in several ways, whether it was to volunteer at both the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the American Heart Association, being a fitness trainer , or now 40 years removed from her cancer battle, going to the University of Houston to get her degree in social work. Her goal with this degree at least to some extent is to help families that have to deal with Pediatric Cancer.
