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.

Heather Roy's 10 year old daughter had just completed a 10 K road race and was seemingly very healthy in September of 2018 except for a nagging pain in her right side that would not go away. This pain, thought to possibly be appendicitis, turned out to be Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma, which was diagnosed at a much older age than this form of pediatric cancer is normally diagnosed. Evelyn struggled for 18 months with this disease before passing away in February of 2020.
