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.

Jon and Jen Wall's son Zach was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in January of 2021. Unfortunately this cancer had already spread to his lungs which cut Zach's chances of survival to no more than 30 percent. Despite an above the knee amputation of his leg and chemotherapy treatments, Zach passed away from this bone cancer on November 5th of 2021 at the age of 16 1/2.
Jon and Jenn have found the strength since Zach's passing to become involved in the cause of Pediatric Cancer as they are starting a program called Peer Coaching, which will allow them to speak with and help other parents who are going through what they went through during the latter stages of Zach's all too short life.
