This podcast offers stories of unbreakable perseverance and delves into the pain and loss individuals face while healing and recovering from childhood cancer. Tips for the fighters inching through impatient hours in hospitals are given, and the underwhelming funding and awareness of the beast that is childhood cancer is highlighted. Even though cancer is undeniably gruesome and terrible, through this podcast, I hope to put a more uplifting spin on the fight against childhood cancer and the pathway from darkness into the light. https://www.childrenscancercause.org/victoria
