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.

After hearing something pop in her left shoulder during a virtual school physical education class during the pandemic, 12 year old Grace Messinger was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. Grace went through some very difficult treatment including 2 Thoracic Surgeries which removed a total of 55 nodules from her lung with many of them being cancerous, a Limb Salvage surgery, and never had any type of break from this very difficult bone cancer. Despite having a great attitude and fighting hard, Grace passed away on September 27th of 2023, just after her 15th birthday.
