The Childhood Cancer Perspective

The Childhood Cancer Perspective

As an Angel Father I discuss topics related to Childhood Cancer from an inside perspective. Topics not seen in the marketing for donations and care, things we as parents understand and wish the public would know. Together as a community we will create and drive awareness for Childhood Cancer and create a better future through knowledge for our kids.
