26. From Bake Sales to Breakthroughs: How Cookies Are Funding Cures

In this deeply moving and powerfully unifying episode, Game Over: c*ncer welcomes Beth Robertson from Cookies for Kids’ Cancer — an organization so aligned with Cannonball Kids' cancer Foundation, it feels like a “soulmate” in the fight against childhood cancer. Beth shares her powerful story of advocacy born from personal heartbreak, including the loss of her grandson KJ, and how cookies turned into a catalyst for change.

Together with hosts Val Solomon and Dana Nichols, they explore the critical role of collaboration in funding pediatric cancer research, why overlap is an opportunity, not a threat, and how innovation in both medicine and fundraising is needed to drive real impact. From grassroots bake sales to million-dollar clinical trials, this episode proves that everyone has something to contribute — and that we’re stronger together. 

Whether you’re a parent, a donor, or just someone who loves cookies, this episode will inspire you to take action, honor the lives behind the statistics, and believe in a future where no child is told there are no more options.
