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.

Being a Certified Child Life Specialist is one of the most important careers that anyone who has a passion for those that are going through a Pediatric Cancer experience can aspire to. Shani Thornton is a prototype for how important this role is and she will talk about the many things that she is involved with on a daily basis as a Child Life Specialist that helps so many people deal with the psychosocial part of dealing with a disease that no one wants or deserves.
