Changing the course of childhood cancer
We all have friends, family or loved ones who have been impacted by cancer and all of us, at one time or another, have been pulled into its devastating wake. Cancer is horrible, but there is nothing more unfair than a cancer diagnosis of a child. We invite you to be a part of a community of people dedicated to ending childhood cancers. Together, we can make a difference.

Kids Cancer Care Community for Life
Childhood cancer is a lifelong journey and Kids Cancer Care is there for children and families for life — from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. Growing up with Kids Cancer Care programs, young people experience first-hand the impact of a community that cares. These young leaders grow up to become the change-makers and community-builders of tomorrow. Through their chosen professions or as volunteers and philanthropists, they will help leave the world a better place.
Our 2025 Spokeskids
Ambila
Meet Ambila! She is a high school student, undergoing her final year of cancer treatment. In 2023, she was having the summer of a lifetime when a persistent pain near her right shoulder led her to see her family doctor. What followed was a whirlwind of medical tests and procedures that culminated in a cancer diagnosis. Early in her cancer journey, Ambila and her family connected with Kids Cancer Care, where they found a community of kids and families on a similar path. Through all of it — the fear, the isolation, the fatigue, nausea, headaches and hair loss — Ambila has exhibited an uncommon courage and resilience. She is an inspiration to many.
Lauren
Lauren was on top of the world, building her skills as a competitive dancer and horseback rider, when she started noticing pain in her left leg. As the pain grew worse, she underwent a series of tests, which revealed she had bone cancer that had already spread to her lungs. After a 19-hour surgery to remove the tumours and reconstruct her leg, Lauren faced hours of excruciating pain, followed by months of intense chemotherapy and rehabilitation. While Lauren is considered terminal, she remains positive. She is currently on an experimental drug and is being treated with SBRT radiation and cryoablation when new growths appear in her lungs. Early in her journey, Lauren discovered a healing community in our Teen Leadership Program. She is one of 19 teens who raised funds for a service trip to Mexico, where they shadowed health care professionals and volunteered in health outreach projects.
