Show Notes

When Cole Eicher was 12 years old he was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, which is the most common form of Pediatric Brain Cancer. After an intense 9 month treatment, Cole recovered from this disease. He has spent the past 7 years advocating for children who have experienced all forms of Pediatric Cancer.

At the age of 12 Cole decided that he wanted to be a voice for children and families facing childhood cancer. As a volunteer for the American Cancer Society he wanted to see a childhood cancer team at Relay For Life events nationwide. Cole knew that it would provide a way for children to be empowered and supported in their community. After a few years of testing, Gold Together became a national program with the American Cancer Society in November of 2018.

 His mother Laura will talk about Cole's mission to create more ways for people to volunteer and support courageous kids in their community.
