• Children with cancer are more than you see

     

    When you see a child with cancer, what do you notice? If it’s her bald head…or his prosthetic leg…or the scars from treatment – we’d like to change that. Starting now…

    See her interests and talents, not the side effects of her treatment.

    Know that he is more than you see.
