Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Are You Kidding? Podcast? I can listen with
my kids. Come on, kids with brothers Sebastian and Brandon Martinez,
who are kids helping kids everyone. Today we are going
to interview not just one person, but two people. We're
gonna interview Piers and Leah, who are both amazing cancer survivors.
So let's start off with Pierce. We are not only
happy to speak to you regarding standard to cancer and
(00:23):
all the amazing things they do, but also to speak
to you as a cancer survivor. You want to share
your story to inspire others who are going through this
tough time or know someone who may be going through
this like battling cancer. Definitely. Yeah. So I am Funny
two years old and in two thousand and eight, when
I was ten years old, I went to the hospital
(00:45):
for just a really really bad headache and some nausea
and they ended up doing a cat scan and found
a large lemon slid in the back of my brain
and there I ended up having emergency brain surd to
me and started an experimental trial of of treatment that
(01:06):
thankfully ended up causing me to be no evidence of disease.
So after a year of living in the hospital, having radiation, surgery, chemotherapy,
stem cell transplants, and more. I was finally diagnosed to
know evidence of disease, which means that the doctors said
in our eyes and there was no longer any signs
(01:27):
of the tumor in my brain or the tumor in
my final court where it had spread from my brain.
So that was really exciting for me. But it definitely
was a super law m tiring year, so not only me,
but just to my whole family that practically lived in
the hospital with me for that year in jails and
(01:47):
eight but now but was it was to meet Stand
Up to Cancer in the hospital. Katie Kuric, one of
the toe founders of Stand Up, actually approached me when
I was staying in the hospital because I was on
such an aggressive clinical trial, which is exactly the kind
of science that Stand Up Cancer funds, because she did
a story on my treatment specifically because it was aggressive
(02:11):
political trial, and while there was not much known about
my state of being afterwards, but my effects that I
would have, they were pretty positive that this political trial
I was on was going to increase my kids survival
by her undqty percent. So it's a really high risk,
(02:31):
high rewards had treatment. And that's what a Stand Up
Cancer we fund. It's so amazing that you are ready
or cancer survivor, but you are also working with stands
a Cancer to raise funds and awareness and spread awareness
for this horrible thing called cancer. So I want to
know how you are doing your role in the community
to help give back. Yeah. So when I was ten
(02:51):
years old and I finished my cancer treatment, I really
struggled with being a survivor at age ten when so
many of my friends that I knew when I was
in the hospital unfortunately work as lucky as me, and
a lot of them lost their battle with cancer during
that time. So thankfully, like I said, I had met
Stand Up to Cancer when I was sick, and they
(03:14):
really gave me such a platform to be able to
share my story with others, and to me, that was
an incredible way that I was able to give back
and I was able to tell the stories of my
friends and when I was sick and really encourage other
people to give back in whatever form, shape or form.
That was just to give back and for me, that
was giving back to the community that has given me
(03:35):
so much. When I was sick, and one of the
things I did right after finished the treatment was I
started my own nonprofit helped Kids with cancer. And while
I was also working with Stand Up to Cancer and
appearing in their ps A campaigns and sharing my story
and telling the public how important research is to finding
(03:56):
new cures and better treatment, I was also working in
my own hometown with the community, raising money with my
own peers to help fight childhood cancer. So it's really incredible,
and Stand Up the Cancer really showed me how I
can use my story and use my voice to raise
awareness and us give back to others. So it's really
(04:17):
cool what you guys are doing because that was the
same thing I was doing. And it's so important for
us to give back because we we have a different
perspective when we're young. We realize that we can do
so much to help. And I think sometimes some adults
might you know, I might seem too hard or too
much work. But I feel something really cool about people
(04:39):
your age is that you guys just don't see like
you can just break down all of those barriers and
you just see how much that you can help people
by doing what you do. So so cool, Thank you.
All I have to do is just like donate so
we can help find a cure for cancer. And you
said you had your own nonprofit. I did, Yeah, Oh
(05:01):
can you please tell us that name of that nonprofit.
It's amazing that, Yeah, that you've been struggling through this
and and you're willing to help give back and funds
and awareness. It's just it's just truly inspiring. Thank you
guys so much. So. Yeah, when I the foundation I
started after I became a survivor was the Pure Que
Foundation for my name k E. A r c Q Foundation,
(05:26):
and that was specifically to help kids with cancer. So
any time a family struggled with paying like an electric
bill because they had to quit their job because they
were living in the hospital with their kids, they would
come to us and we would be able to pay
that bill so that they didn't have to worry about
that financial burden while they were out of work in
order to support their child who was fighting for their life.
(05:49):
And that was something that really helped me and give
back and helped me feel like being a survivor was
worth it because I could give back to others that
really needed it. Amazing, and we want everyone to understand
why this campaign is so important to us and why
it is so important to raise funds awareness for Stand
Up to Cancer Because I think everyone deserves to be
(06:11):
healthy and we just want to get rid of this
horrible disease called cancer. So we just got a player part. Yeah, definitely.
I think you said it perfectly when you said that
everyone deserves to be healthy. I think it's really easy
to take it for granted when we are healthy. And
but the thing about us being healthy is that we
(06:33):
have so much we can do and offer to those
that aren't. And so I really like your campaign and
I think it thank you so perfect that everyone deserves
to be healthy, and people who are lucky enough to
be healthy, we can really give back and help. But
who are struggling. Yeah, you can't take being healthy for granted,
especially that there's other people going through a really rough time.
(06:55):
So you just gotta help donate and we want I
have a question. Can you please are with us how
Standard to Cancer has impacted your life, because we know
Stand Up to Cancer has done a whole lot for you. Yeah,
stand that just had such a huge impact all my life.
Like I said, they were pretty much the inspiration for
me feeling like I was able to go out and
(07:18):
share my story. You know, I was only kind of
eleven years old after I first became a survivor, and
you're you're young, and you're spared, and you don't want
to speak out. But seeing stan Us cancer and all
they did and with their telepaths and really competive and
media and how much attention that brought to raise awareness,
it really inspired me and all of the women and
(07:39):
the people who work here that the cancer just mean thing.
Everyone inspired me so much to be able to give
back and fight, and they've just done so much, and
not just for me, they've done so much for my
friends and for me that's even more important. They really
care about people with cancer and especially kids with cancer,
(07:59):
and and that's just so important that they've done so
much in terms of research. And one of our six
FBA approvals that the Stand Up Sancer funded was for
t SA Leucania, and so many of my friends have
struggled with that disease and now we have a brand
new treatment that is very very well well responded to.
(08:21):
And so just that simple simple things to me means
the world. They're really incredible and I'm so honored that
I get to work for an organization that is truly
changing the way we fight cancer. Well, you were talking
about how the Standard to Cancer employees were like so
nice and so amazing, and we actually saw it for
(08:42):
our own eyes because we got to go meet you
guys at your offices, and well, we want you to
tell us all the people are listening that what do
you want people to really know about Santa Cancer and
all the amazing things they do from the employees to
funding and making dreams come true. Yeah, I think I
think people should know just the passion that we have
(09:04):
at this team our organization. You know, everyone from our
marketing team, our communications team, our finance team, operations, all
of us are truly dedicated and truly have a heart
for getting rid of this disease and we will do
anything and we won't stop until the disease is no more. Yes,
(09:25):
Stand Up to Cancer is such a great organization that
gives back to all types of cancers and we just
that's what I'm so proud to be working and making
a software Stand Up to Cancer and probably did a
great job designing it. And how do you like the
ladies stock design that will be benefiting Stand Up to
Cancer that Poppy designed and I, yeah, I love that stock.
(09:47):
Poppy is a great job. These guys did a great job.
It's such a cool stock. Not only did you guys
get me one, I had pre ordered earlier before they
even started chipping out. And I love that stock. I'm
just like you, guys. I love my stock. When I
was taking the hospital, I never got dressed a little
to jamas every day, but I always had a new
(10:08):
fun pair of rocks on. And so I love it.
I think it's so cool. And guy's just awesome for
thinking of that. And what you created was so cool
and a great way to share our message and share yours.
Thank you. And for those who have not seen this sock,
go to are You Kidding Socks dot com to see
the latest sock our stand up Kansas stocks. It's so comfortable,
(10:30):
like have you tried it on fears? Yeah? Okay. The
other day at works, I came to work and I
wore I have span up pancer speakers, very cool. They
don't exist anymore, but I kept mine there o G
But I wore out with my socks and I look
so cool. I loved it, so comfy, and I think
it's the only way you can get aware away with
wearing sneakers at work is when you're wearing Pancer socks
(10:53):
and san Pan sneakers. Thank you guys for allowing me
to do that. We feel like Poppy has made such
an interest seeing and really it's just a really cool
and fun design for the sock and with the meeting
going behind it, it's truly amazing. And we were also
excited to have thousands of kids and those dancing in
those socks on September twenty seven, because as we all know,
that's the National Sock Call Day where everyone will get
(11:15):
together and dance in their socks. So you know, will
you be dancing there too on September twenty seven. Oh,
I will definitely be dancing. I whole awesomes will be dancing.
I will be break dancing in those socks. Yeah. I
feel like the sox are just so cool and with
the meeting behind it, it just makes it even more powerful.
Just that you guys are really incredible and you probably
hear it too much all the time that what you
(11:38):
do is amazing, and how you're so young, but meeting
more people like you guys in our world because you're
the future and you really are inspiring so many people
by what you do. You inspired me, you inspired everyone
here in up to Chance there and on behalf of
all of us. I just want to say thank you
to you guys for all that you're doing. We really
appreciate it. Thank you, Thank you so much, and thank
(12:01):
you for being on our podcast. You were did great
and you're such an inspiration and we can't wait to
see you rocking your Stand Up to Cancer stocks. We
can't wait to see you at the Stand Up to
Cancer office in Los Angeles again. You better. We're gonna
handle over you the Standard to Cancer check for all
the money we've raised. So fun. No, thank you. That
(12:24):
was an amazing interview of Pierce. But before we finish
off this podcast, we have one more interview with an
amazing cancer survivor. She's nine years old and her name
is Leah Still. How are you, Leah? I'm good. How
about you? I'm great? Yeah, we're doing good. How's your
day going so far? Um? It's good. Um, I've been
hating around with my friend. That sounds awesome. I want
(12:47):
you to explain your story of how you beat stage
four neuroblastoma. So how are the stage four novels? Doma
was with my family's helped the porting me and stuff
and and praying and having fund with me and just
keeping my mind opportnswer. Your story of beating stage four
(13:07):
near blastoma is amazing and very inspiring to all of us.
Explain to us how you are using your incredible journey
to help inspire others. Um with with my foundation. That's cool.
Why don't you tell us a little bit more about
your foundation? So we basically just try to raise fine
first families awareness. So yeah, that's cool. Hey Leah, would
(13:33):
you have to participate in our sock oup on September? Well,
that's amazing. We're having so much fun with this, right
the sock up and we're signing up so many schools
and so many people are going to participate in dance
and all your honor of children who are battling cancer,
and we are so thankful that you are coming to
join us. What is your message for other kids that
(13:55):
are going through cancer just as you did? Like, what
is your message to them? Oh? There, find it alone
and like just pray a lot in Yeah. Um, how
do you think about the stock design from one through time? Um?
I think it's really awesome. How have your friends been
there for you, Well, they just really helped me a
(14:16):
why and they're treating kind and just to take my
mind off the things. Well, those sounds like amazing friends.
How have you inspired other kids with your story? Um?
I was able to share my book with them and
read my books. Trin, can you tell us a little
bit more about your book, Um, it's just helping kids
(14:41):
around the world who had cancer or or anybody like
that is going through that in their family and stuff,
to help them know that they're not alone and we're
all praying for them and we're just all, you know,
we're just all hoping for the death. What do you
think about our d Helping Kids initiatives? UM, I think
(15:03):
it's really cool for like people will be helping out,
like even if they don't know um, the people who
are going through stuff, if they don't know them personally,
it's still like very cool. Also, UM like to see
someone in my same age helping out. Well, I think
(15:27):
like what we're doing about our kids Helping Kids initiatives,
I think it's very important because if we get to
help other children, inspire other children to help up too,
So I think, yeah, it's really cool. Thank you, what
message do you want to say to other kids, Um,
that it doesn't matter what's on the outside of matters
what's on the inside, because you don't listen to what
(15:48):
people say, and if they say well things about you,
just don't listen to them because well they're just they're
not being nice to you. And if they're not being
nice to just ignored them because you just needed think thought.
And I find a question, Leah, who inspires you? My
mom and my dad and my whole family in the world.
We just had two amazing interviews with two amazing cancer survivors.
(16:12):
We hope that everyone is inspired by what they said.

it's really cool for like people will be helping out,
like even if they don't know um, the people who
are going through stuff, if they don't know them personally,
it's still like very cool. Also, UM like to see
someone in my same age helping out. Well, I think
(15:27):

help other children, inspire other children to help up too,
So I think, yeah, it's really cool. Thank you, what
message do you want to say to other kids, Um,
that it doesn't matter what's on the outside of matters
what's on the inside, because you don't listen to what
(15:48):
people say, and if they say well things about you,
just don't listen to them because well they're just they're
not being nice to you. And if they're not being
nice to just ignored them because you just needed think thought.
And I find a question, Leah, who inspires you? My
