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.

Just a few days after complaining of a headache and vomiting on his way to school the next day in August of 2017, Gunner Smith, who was a 4th grade student was having emergency brain surgery at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, after being diagnosed with a High Grade Multi Form Glioma. This operation was so serious that there was a question as to whether Gunner would even be able to wake up from this surgery. Gunner's parents Brittany and Brandon will talk about their son who showed so much bravery while he fought his disease and uttered these words after his diagnosis. "We Got This." Gunner passed away from this Pediatric Brain Cancer on May 28th of 2021.
