Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. Even so, only four percent of the National Cancer Institute’s budget 💰 focuses on childhood cancers. These are more than abstract statistics for this episode’s guests Angela Dina and Michelle Payne. Angela and Michelle are founders of Turn It Gold, a non-profit that elevates awareness about childhood cancer and survivorship 💛.
Angela and Michelle join co-host Dr. Lynn Harter 🎙️ to reflect on the origin of the organization, the role of faith ✝️ in their healing journeys, and the importance of athletic activism 🏅 in shifting the landscape of childhood cancer care.
