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.

Cheryl Adams saw a small mole on her son Graham's left arm when he was 9 years old in 2013. The mole was removed but Graham's problems had just started. 6 months later he was diagnosed with Pediatric Melanoma. Graham underwent 40 surgeries but did not sit idly by while hospitalized. He and others designed rubber bracelets to highlight his fight and 100,000 of them were sold. Graham's story caught the attention of the Today Show, the Ellen Generous Show , the Obama Family, and Kobe Bryant, who all lent a helping hand. Graham is now 19 years old, has not had the opportunity to live a normal life and is in pain quite often. This is the result of a form of pediatric cancer that is not well known and that there really is no cure for.
