Podcasts about childhood cancer awareness month

If you only listen to one show this year make it this one! With Producer Sean leaving early for INTERGEO, DD was joined this week by Peta Cox for this heartfelt and inspiring story. Our guest was Claire Masikewich. Claire is a seasoned marketing and communications professional at GeoVerra with a passion for advocacy that transcends her corporate career.  In May 2023, Claire's career paused when her five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer. This life-altering event ignited a new purpose: using her marketing expertise to raise awareness and advocate for more research in the severely underfunded area of pediatric cancer. Claire's story is not only one of professional success but also of personal resilience. She has faced and overcome challenges with anxiety and depression, which once felt overwhelming. Yet, with her daughter's diagnosis, Claire channeled her strength and transformed her pain into purpose, becoming a fierce advocate while navigating her daughter's treatment. By August 2024, just before Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the Strong Like Sloane Foundation—named in honor of her daughter—became an official charitable organization in Alberta. Since launching fundraising efforts in October 2023, the foundation has raised over $155,000 for pediatric cancer research at Calgary's Riddell Centre for Cancer Immunotherapy.  Claire is a testament to the power of resilience, personal growth, and the unwavering love of a parent. Her life's journey is an inspiration to all who face personal challenges and a reminder that, with determination and support, we can find strength and light even in the most difficult of circumstances. "You don't know what you're capable of until you're asked to be capable." Music by Zach Bryan!

230: Navigating Childhood Cancer: Supporting families through her own experience - Heather's Story  "We've joined a club that nobody wants to be a part of, but the good part is we have the best members." A huge thank you to our sponsor of today's podcast, Begin Health.  In this episode, Katie Taylor interviews Heather, host of the Navigating Childhood Cancer podcast and mother of a teenager diagnosed with leukemia, in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. They discuss the challenges of receiving a cancer diagnosis for your child, managing cancer treatments, including pill swallowing, and navigating parent guilt. Heather shares her family's journey and how she balanced protecting her son while also being open about her experience to support other families. Through her podcast, Heather provides a space for families to share their stories, giving listeners the strength to cope with childhood cancer. Key Insights & Lessons Learned: Pill Swallowing is a Process: Sometimes the goal isn't mastering a technique but simply finding what works, even if it means grinding pills for an extended period. The Importance of Listening to the Child: Empowering the child to make decisions about their care, like how they take their medicine, can alleviate unnecessary stress. Parent Guilt is Real, but Not Always True: Parents often struggle with feeling responsible for their child's illness, but as Heather was reminded, it's not your fault. Sharing Helps, But Boundaries Matter: Heather highlights the balance of sharing personal experiences while respecting her son's privacy, which is crucial when sharing such a sensitive journey. Resources and Tips: Navigating Childhood Cancer Podcast: Hosted by Heather, this podcast shares stories and lessons from families going through childhood cancer.

For Our Children: Warrior Parenting Guest Janet Demeter, Founder of Jack's Angels Foundation and Host of Childhood Cancer Talk Radio Fifty percent of children in the U.S. have chronic health issues, and among these, cancer is the leading cause of death among children by disease. Underlying this diseased state of our children are environmental toxins, which enter a body and accumulate over time to create metabolic deficiencies and imbalances. Such toxins exist in our air, water, soil and food. Parents are stepping up to identify these problems, raise awareness and advocate for systemic change. They are doing so in many different capacities; some are focusing on prevention and others are searching for therapies that are better than “standard of care” - less toxic, safer and more effective. In this episode, Janet Demeter shares her son's brain cancer story and the leadership role she took on within the childhood cancer community after losing Jack in 2012. Janet has learned a lot about cancer research, the shortcomings of the pediatric cancer care system and government policy, as well as what we need to do to be more effective. Janet is the founder of Jack's Angels Foundation, host of Childhood Cancer Talk Radio and a lead advocate for pediatric cancer awareness. She one of many parents who have been creating greater visibility and encouraging a higher level of funding for research into cures for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and pediatric cancers in general. Janet leads the effort to pass a resolution designating the 17th day in May as ‘‘DIPG Awareness Day,'' which cites DIPG as the most compelling example of pediatric cancer. This September 2024 interview coincides with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, CureFest 2024, a new book release, DIPG: Eternal Hope Versus Terminal Corruption, and the heightened focus on children's chronic health trends happening in national politics. The DIPG book is an experiential narrative published by Dean and Wendy Fachon about their son's cancer journey, and below is a link to a must-see video interview with the Fachons – “What is DIPG?” LISTEN TO PARENTS SPEAK ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH Childhood Cancer Talk Radio with Janet Demeter https://toginet.com/shows/childhoodcancertalkradio What is DIPG?

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Becky Pinter, MACC fund President & CEO Becky Pinter joins the program to discuss the events going on throughout the month, starting with the A Night of Hope happening later next week. Becky discusses the MACC fund efforts, the exciting progress that has been made fighting against pediatric cancer.

Dr. Corey Falcon from Oshner, Baton Rouge. He works in pediatric oncology at Oshner's. He also does hematology, which is blood disorders. I'll be asking all the dumb questions today.  Most of the cancers in children are distinct. Childhood leukemia is the most common cancer in children. There are some types that are similar, but typically the treatments, sometimes they can overlap, but treatments are different. You've got to treat the child, and somewhat, I would think, treat the parents too. The child doesn't know everything that's going on, especially depending on age. One thing that's also important is the siblings. We tell the kids and the families, we're going to be with you throughout this journey. There's some advancements that have been made for treating children. One of the big things is something called immunotherapy. It uses the body's immune system to fight the cancer. It also limits side effects to the body that traditional toxic chemotherapy can cause. Every little bit is better. Dr. Falcon says things are moving in the right direction. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It is a tough job, but we're fortunate and blessed to take care of these wonderful kids.

Even though an aggressive form of leukemia took his life at age 6, Declan Reagan's story is about living with cancer, not dying from it. In this ENCORE EDITION of Bloodworks 101, his mom, Lauren describes Declan's penchant for pushing limits and breaking rules, and her determination to find a way for him to see the new Jurassic World movie that was set to debut 6 months after he was given just 2 weeks to live. On their side in this impossible quest? A mom on a mission, hope, and Chris Pratt. Contributor Bill Harper says you've never heard a story like this before. 

[In Episode 61, part 1 of this two-part series for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month presents two  journeys of two children who battled cancer: River Putnam and Elizabeth "Liz" Brooks]Today the rest of Liz's story is shared through the accounts of her parents who had to temporarily say good-bye to their daughter in 2021.  They continue the tribute to a daughter their hearts beat fondly for, as they process out loud, grief, faith and a desperate "holding on to hope," amidst such great pain.  On the day of Liz's homecoming, what Jeremy and Laura Brooks witnessed seemed to be their daughter's few moments in "the in-between," as it appeared that angels were in full force to peacefully take Liz's soul to eternity.   Stories of pain are a part of life.  May we listen, learn, and stretch our hearts to have hope and thanksgiving in any and every circumstances.  Seacoast Podcast, River and Melanie Putnam and most importantly Jeremy and Laura Brooks dedicate these episodes to the lovely and bright young woman who is now interceding for us who are still seeing dimly: Elizabeth "Liz" Brooks.

Two stories of two kids who fought diligently, positively and with great faith, the dreadful foe of cancer.  River Putnam was 11 years old when he began his fight against a rare form of brain cancer.  Now, 15-years-old, him and his mom Melanie Putnam (“Mel”) join the podcast to share their story as well as the ways in which they are currently walking through some of the remaining havoc.  Elizabeth “Liz” Brooks began her fight against cancer at 12 years old and at 18 slipped away to heaven in 2021.  While Liz's story ends bitterly on this side of heaven, her parents and many listeners amidst tears will still agree she is currently experiencing the best possible outcome.Believers in Jesus have faith that He has overcome the world, and that belief brings hope.  But in this world each person will have trouble.  Pain and sadness are real and as long as one lives, can't be avoided; and no one is ever in the clear of experiencing their own personal nightmare, even those with great faith.  Two true stories of beauty from the ashes, those hard-pressed on every side but not crushed, enduring great suffering but not abandoned. One story leading Mel Putnam in a perennial state of thanksgiving for the more years she has with her bright son, River, while Jeremy and Laura Brooks (who also  join us today) also have their hearts settled in  thanksgiving for the time they had with Liz's and the privilege of being her parents.  Often times, however, as a result of losing her, they have to hold on to hope with all the strength they have.  Stories of pain are a part of life.  May we listen, learn, and stretch our hearts to have hope and thanksgiving in any and every circumstances.  Seacoast Church, River and Melanie Putnam and most importantly Jeremy and Laura Brooks dedicate this episode to the lovely and bright young woman who is now interceding for us who are still seeing dimly: Elizabeth "Liz" Brooks.

Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Lighthouse Podcast. We are in week two of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, sharing heartfelt stories of families navigating the challenging journey of childhood cancer. This week, we have the privilege of sitting down with Mia Bell, a remarkable single mother to three incredible children: Maurice (20), Cory (17), and Chloe (11). In 2017, their world was abruptly turned upside down when Chloe was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma at four years old. After completing the initial treatment, Chloe faced relapse after 21 months. Mia's story is one of unwavering resilience and determination. She sheds light on the significance of maintaining a sense of normalcy for Chloe throughout their journey, incorporating art therapy, yoga, gymnastics, and creating memories with her brothers. As a single parent, Mia shares her experiences guiding her boys to self-sufficiency at a young age while she was by Chloe's side during treatment. Even from the hospital, she maintained consistent communication and made it a priority to verbalize her love for them daily. Tune in to this emotional episode as we illuminate the path of resilience and love that defines the Bell family's journey and find inspiration in their story of strength and purpose.

Commercial : ESOG - Elon   STORY 1: School Library Removes Controversial Book   Two books, "Flamer" by Mike Curato and "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" by Jesse Andrews, which were previously available in Marietta High School's library, have been removed in response to a complaint from a Marietta parent. Cobb County School District removed these books from 20 school libraries last month due to "highly inappropriate, sexually explicit content." The removal decision sparked debate, with Marietta Schools Superintendent Grant Rivera initially stating he trusted staff judgment and cited a process for addressing concerns.

They are accused of conspiring to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election results. Moore, representing Northwest Georgia, argues that his constituents don't want their tax dollars supporting what he sees as corruption. He claims that the actions taken by Trump and others were exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech. However, Governor Brian Kemp and most legislators have not supported a special session, leading to disagreements within the Republican party on this issue.   STORY 3: Kennesaw plans to lower millage rate   Kennesaw's City staff is recommending that the City Council reduce the millage rate from 8 mills to 7.75 mills in the upcoming budget. This decision follows a public hearing on the budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2024. The proposed budget of $29.4 million represents a 6% increase from the previous year. Notably, it includes a 3% cost of living raise for staff and relies heavily on tax revenue, with around 80% of the general fund coming from taxes. The largest expenditures are in public safety, general government, and public works. Economic growth and increased property tax revenue have allowed for the millage rate reduction, benefiting most homeowners. The final budget adoption is scheduled for September 18, 2023.........…..(pause) We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

During the pep rally, Westberg and Muyumba congratulated the students on the school's new soccer club and shared their journeys to becoming professional soccer players.

The event holds special significance for the local schools, with principals and Teachers of the Year being honored as VIPs. STORY 6:  Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Marietta city officials have partnered with the Mighty Millie Foundation to declare September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The foundation was established by Nick and Claire Mracek in memory of their daughter Millie, who battled embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue childhood cancer, and sadly passed away at the age of three. The proclamation aims to raise awareness about childhood cancer, the need for increased funding and research, and to support local families affected by this disease. On average, 47 children are diagnosed with cancer daily in the U.S., making it the second leading cause of death in children after firearms. The Mighty Millie Foundation continues to advocate for research and support for children and families dealing with cancer.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Powers  - Ingles 6 - JRM               STORY 7:  Viral One Chip Challenge   Following the tragic death of a Massachusetts teen who consumed the viral One Chip Challenge, the manufacturer, Paqui, has decided to discontinue the challenge and remove the product from store shelves. The 14-year-old boy died on September 1 after consuming the extremely spicy chip, which is seasoned with Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers. The challenge encouraged participants to eat the entire chip and endure the extreme heat without consuming anything else to quench the spice. Despite warnings against participation by children and individuals with medical conditions, the challenge gained popularity on social media. Paqui is recalling the product "out of an abundance of caution" and offering refunds to customers who have purchased it.   STORY 8: Halloween Hikes   Halloween Hikes, now in its 38th year at Chattahoochee Nature Center, offers a non-scary, educational nighttime adventure for families from October 27th to 29th, between 6 and 10 p.m. This year, the event has introduced a more flexible schedule with hiking sessions departing every six minutes, allowing families to tailor their experience. Participants can explore nature at night on paved Wildlife Walk and ADA-compliant River Boardwalk Trail, encountering costumed characters who share insights about their critters. The event also features games, crafts, music, and food options, including a firepit area for families to relax and a cocktail bar for adults.   …Back with final thoughts after   Break:  Teds - Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Today we're discussing the so-called "incommensurability" paper: The Structure of a Programming Language Revolution by Richard P. Gabriel. In the pre-show, Jimmy demands that Ivan come right out and explain himself, and so he does, to a certain extent at least. In the post-show, Jimmy draws such a thick line between programming and philosophy that it wouldn't even look out of place on Groucho Marx's face. Next episode, we will be covering the Worse is Better family of thought products, so take 15 minutes to read these three absolute bangers if you'd like to be ahead of the game: The Rise of Worse is Better by Richard P. Gabriel Worse is Better is Worse, definitely not by Richard P. Gabriel Is Worse Really Better? by Richard P. Gabriel Links Phlogiston Theory Phlogiston the excellent chiptune musician. Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life, by Conor Oberst. Not to be confused with Conal Elliott, who introduced the original meaning of functional reactive programming in his work on Fran. Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers Pilot: A Step Toward Man-Computer Symbiosis Jimmy's talk Paradigms Without Progress: Kuhnian Reflections on Programming Practice There's some sporadic discussion of Philip Wadler (who Ivan playfully calls "Phil"), specifically his claim that programming languages have some bits that are invented and some bits that are discovered. While we're here, make sure you've seen the best 15 seconds in Strange Loop history. Peter Naur's Programming as Theory Building Sponsors CarrotGrid — They don't have a web presence (weird, hey?) but they're working on an interesting problem at the intersection of data, so listen to the short ad in the episode to find out more. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital — Instead of running our usual sponsors today, we'd like to direct your attention to this humanitarian cause. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and our friends (can we call them that?) at Relay.fm are running a pledge drive.

While childhood cancer is rare, 1 in every 266 children and adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer by age 20, according to the American Cancer Society. Each September, advocacy groups, health care institutions, patients and families recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to help families who receive a cancer diagnosis.“A lot of people still don't know what to do if a child is diagnosed with cancer or where to go,” explains Dr. Wendy Allen-Rhoades, a Mayo Clinic pediatric hematologist and oncologist. “We want people to know that we know that a cancer diagnosis is scary. We know that it's life-altering. But we also want you to know that there's hope, that we are doing really good things here at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere. And there is hope for a cure, and there is life after childhood cancer.”Dr. Allen-Rhoades says funding is needed for more pediatric cancer research to continue to improve treatments. One area of focus for her has been sarcomas. Sarcoma — the term for a group of cancers that begin in the bones and in the soft or connective tissues — is one of the more common types of childhood cancer. Fortunately, recent treatment advances have increased survival rates. Of children diagnosed with cancer, 84% now survive five years or more. One of the advances in treatment has been improvement in radiation therapy techniques and the use of proton beam therapy to treat pediatric cancers."Radiation therapy works very well for sarcomas," says Dr. Wendy Allen-Rhoades, a Mayo Clinic pediatric hematologist and oncologist. "And the difference between conventional radiation and proton therapy radiation is that our radiation oncologists are able to contour a little bit tighter with proton therapy. Therefore, the surrounding tissue that is normal is spared from some of the side effects. This is really important in children who are growing because we want them to be able to grow normally."In addition to sparing healthy tissue from the effects of radiation, people who must undergo radiation therapy early in life are less likely to have long-term side effects and complications, such as secondary cancers, with proton beam therapy than with conventional radiation therapy.While treatments and cure rates for sarcomas have improved, Dr. Allen-Rhoades hopes for even better results in the future.“Sarcomas have been a tough nut to crack for sure in terms of research and novel innovative therapies,” says Dr. Allen-Rhoades. “We still have a ways to go, but we're doing much, much better than we were 20—30 years ago. But until we can cure everyone, it will never be enough.”On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Allen-Rhoades discusses pediatric sarcomas and the importance of funding for research and support of families dealing with pediatric cancer.

(PLEASE USE THE LINK). Friday and Saturday of this week is Legacy Weekend for the Flying Squirrels. This is a special two-night event that will highlight the legacy of the Richmond 34. The Richmond 34 are a group of courageous college students that conducted a sit-in at the popular lunch counter of Thalhimers department store in downtown Richmond, Virginia in 1960. he event was one of many sit-ins to occur throughout the civil rights movement in the 1960s and was essential to helping desegregate the city of Richmond. During Friday and Saturday's games, the Squirrels will honor those civil rights pioneers, educate the community, and hold a special jersey auction on Saturday night. Blaine and Meg join me to talk about all the activities going on. And, Cheats Movement Family, I have a special code for $5 GA tickets to Legacy weekend. Just use the code RICHMOND34. I'm excited about Wednesday night and this weekend. I look forward to seeing you at the Diamond.

On the second week of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we had Emily Settle join Chris & Christy in person on the Lighthouse Podcast. Emily has been married to Jonathan for 14 years this month. Together they have 5th-grade twins, Abby & Hannah, 3rd grader, Hope, and Lucy who was promoted to Heaven at age 4. Emily and Jonathan joined us last year to discuss Lucy's full journey. We encourage you to listen to that conversation. On this epsiode, Emily shares how she still has "what-ifs" but holds on to her faith in God. She also shares the rollercoaster ride of hope and devatation while they weren't given facts along Lucy's battle. Emily discovered many blessings along the way as she remembered some of her favorite memories of Lucy. She had a perspective shift through the experience and realized it's best to surrender all. In closing, she reminds us all that all things are temporary and there is much more to this life. In the intro, Chris mentioned Gold Party and the online auction. You can learn more about that here: https://LFRGold22.givesmart.com.
