Show Notes

Kelly Goddard's 10 month old daughter Riley was diagnosed with Glioblastoma a brain cancer that is so rare for infants , that only 10 to 20 cases are found each year in people so young. After hearing that Riley's prognosis was for a 1-2 year lifespan,  Kelly did as much research as possible and found a neurooncologist from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital who thought that Riley could be cured. Kelly and Riley spent seven months in Memphis for Riley's treatment, and now 9 months after her treatment has been completed, Kelly was told that Riley had No Evidence Of Disease and she hit all her physical marks at her 2 year old checkup.

Kelly will also talk about her critical role as the Health Navigator for the National Pediatric Foundation.
