The responsibilities are immense, and often, caregivers find themselves consumed by the demands of their child’s treatment and well-being. While this dedication is natural, it’s crucial to remember that taking care of oneself is not a luxury but a necessity. Self-care is essential for caregivers to sustain their ability to provide the best support for their child. Read our blog for some practical steps and insights on how caregivers can prioritize their well-being during this challenging time. https://buff.ly/3ArF6ok #AhmadButlerFoundation #ChildhoodCancer #PediatricCancer

💡 The Fight With Lights Update! 💡 The Peace Bridge, which connects Buffalo, New York to Fort Erie, Ontario, was built between 1925 and 1927 to symbolize peace and prosperity between the United States and Canada. It was constructed to recognize over 100 years of peace between the countries and has been a major international border crossing for decades. On September 5, 2024, during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, The Peace Bridge will play a pivotal role in The Fight With Lights. By illuminating in yellow, it will serve as a powerful symbol of global unity in the fight against pediatric cancer. You can also join The Fight With Lights this September and be part of a global movement.
