“I went to the funeral, mostly to support my sister. I had never even met Emery’s mom, Jenna, at the time. But I went for my sister, Missy, who is Emery’s grandmother,” says Halper.
“Emery’s parents and grandparents were standing in the front, and Emery was in the casket behind them. And something in me snapped that day. I didn’t understand how they were going to do what they were about to do, bury their precious daughter. I wanted to do something about that, or at least be a part of doing something about that, about childhood cancer.”
Join us for an uplifting conversation about hope, resilience, and the incredible power of community in the fight against childhood cancer.
Meet our special guest, Peter Halper, a true champion biking for the Emery Thunders Ride, dedicated to funding childhood cancer initiatives across the US.
This episode delves into Peter's inspiring journey, his passion for making a difference, and the incredible impact of the Emery Thunders Ride.
