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.

Anna Day will talk about her sister Isabella who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2012 when she was 9 months old. Anna was 9 years old at the time and 3 years later she decided to hold a bake sale to raise money and honor Isabella. Her first bake sale raised $2000 and with help from her mother, aunt, and other family members, she turned this bake sale into an annual event, which raised $34,000 in the fall of 2021. In 2018 Anna started her Anna's Bake Sale Foundation and has given the proceeds to both Neuroblastoma and DIPG research .
Now a college student, Anna is pursuing her degree which she hopes will lead to a career as a Child Life Specialist and will continue to help do what she can for the cause of Pediatric Cancer.
