AAA Western and Central New York’s Post

Jim and Leslie’s story forever changed me. During one of my biggest business development opportunities, I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Best Buy. During that time, the worst possible thing happened and now Jim is writing about hope and getting through something no parent should every have to go through. Pre order this book, give yourself some perspective and to Jim Williams, kudos! I can’t help but think of the BUBBLES all around you from Kyle on this one!!

🎇 September is when we #gogold for Pediatric Cancer Awareness! My niece, Vara, was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor at the age of 9. Eight years later, she's cancer-free, and for that, we are incredibly grateful—to her mother, her medical team and her incredible community. To say her strength, courage, and spirit are inspiring could never do justice to her experiences as a pediatric cancer patient, as a child with a terrifying, life-threatening disease. Today, she shares her story to raise awareness, encourage research, and promote philanthropy—an act of bravery in and of itself. You can catch a glimpse of her infectious personality in the video linked below - she's is as hilarious and special as described and just about the coolest person I know. I hold the experiences of families very close, when I think about Pediatric Cancer. Diagnosis and treatment can be so isolating and it’s difficult to describe the experience and longer-term effects to those who aren't a part of it or don't want to understand because its just too much to process. Organizations like Team Impact play a pivotal role, not only by creating wonderful experiences for these kids but also by helping communities understand, empathize, and embrace these remarkable young individuals and their families. And I hope these experiences help people see what a difference it can make when we reach out to people impacted by illness and the longer-term health and social impacts, often unseen, childhood cancer can create. We honor all of the kids and families impacted by pediatric cancer this month, and every month. Let’s continue to find safe and effective treatments that provide hope to families impacted by these horrible illnesses. #PediatricCancerAwareness #TeamImpact

Interested in the connection between nutrition and cancer? Join us for this webinar on May 1 where I'll explain what we know about this connection, and what you can do to reduce your risk.

Anytime I can talk about cancer research, early-detection, prevention, and the role the American Cancer Society plays in it all, it's a discussion I look forward to having. The fact that I got to have this conversation with a fellow Deadhead is an added bonus, thanks for having me on the #RealChemPod, Jim Weiss! https://bit.ly/4anYVKE

Today for #BrainCancerAwarenessMonth we are shining the spotlight on the PNOC-022 clinical trial. PNOC-022 is investigating treatment options for children and young adults with Diffuse Midline Gliomas (DMGs), a group of aggressive and rapidly growing brain tumours. These tumours form in the part of the brain responsible for functions like heartbeat, breathing, swallowing, eyesight, and balance, therefore rendering surgery almost impossible. The international PNOC-022 trial provides a long-term framework to test multiple drug options in various stages of this disease including at initial diagnosis, post-radiation therapy and at the time of progression. PNOC-022 is proudly supported by the Isabella and Marcus Foundation, the Isabella and Marcus Paediatric Brainstem Tumour Fund (a sub-fund of Australian Communities Foundation), the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation Clinical Trial Program, the Australian Brain Cancer Mission and the Wayne Francis Charitable Trust. #ANZCHOG #WorldClassCare #BrainCancer
