Buckle up because we are FIRED up.
We are so ready for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, it's not even funny. In our opening episode we are highlighting how we got started down this path, who we have to thank for it (and how damn grateful we are), some mental checks we had to make along the way, and a brief overview of the upcoming guests.
Childhood Cancer research does not get enough funding and we are here to do what we can to raise the bar and increase the percentage!
Right now, in Canada the funding percentage for childhood cancer varies between 4-7% of all Cancer research. I know that I learned that the bare minimum that should go into my savings account is 10%... so how on Earth, can we think that less than that is good enough for our kids?!
Even if you aren't impacted by Childhood Cancer... Cancer has probably touched your life in one way, shape or form. So please, tune in. Listen to how strong, resilient, inspiring and determined these amazing guests are. We PROMISE (pinky swear) you'll take something incredible away from at least one of these episodes.
