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.

Liam Witt lost his battle against Neuroblastoma in 2011 after a 4 year fight against this form of Pediatric Cancer. His mother Gretchen will talk about Liam's life and the non profit Cookies For Kids Cancer which she and her husband Larry started in 2008 in response to the medicine protocols that Liam and other children had to endure during their cancer treatments.
This non profit has had over 13,000 grassroots fundraisers in all 50 states and in 20 countries, has raised $17 million dollars, and has been able to award 110 research grants which have helped to create newer treatments, helping these kids look towards a brighter and healthier future.
