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.

Olivia LoRusso was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia when she was 11 years old. Her mother Shelley will talk about her very difficult battle with this disease which led to her passing in April of 2017. Since that time Shelley started the Olivia Hope Foundation which is focused on both research and in helping families that are going through the very unfortunate experience that Shelley, her husband Rob, and her daughters Gia and Sabrina, (Olivia's twin) had to endure while watching this disease take hold of their beloved Olivia.
