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.

Summer Germann has a background in Product Development. After her 10 year old brother Mac died from Leukemia in 2002, Summer thought for a long time about how she wanted to honor the memory of her brother. After seeing a friend's daughter who was being treated for cancer wearing a drab hospital gown, Summer decided to use her product development skills to design a new hospital gown, with a much more creative look and one which was more user friendly.
Summer designed her first BRAVE GOWN in 2015, and 7 years later, has distributed these gowns to 500,000 Pediatric Cancer patients, in nearly 380 hospitals , in 6 countries around the world.
