Show kids YOU care during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Sloane was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, cancer of immature nerve cells, when she was six years old. Within a week of her diagnosis, Sloane began an 18-month treatment protocol, which involved two surgeries and two autologous stem cell transplants, requiring high-dose chemotherapy, followed by proton radiation in Jacksonville, Florida, and immunotherapy back in Calgary. The cancer treatment was tough on Sloane and the whole family. Thanks to YOUR support, her family found solace in Kids Cancer Care. “I wasn’t sure what we needed or what they could provide, but I knew we needed support,” says Sloane’s mom Claire. Thanks to YOUR generosity, Sloane and her family were able to participate in programs such as the PLUS (sibling support) program, PEER exercise, Cancer in the Classroom, and others. After 18 months of rigorous treatment, Sloane is returning to school full-time this September. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and YOUR gifts today will help many kids like Sloane and offer them hope for a happy childhood.
