from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

After an early childhood which included modeling and soccer, Cole Eicher was diagnosed with the Pediatric Brain Cancer Medulloblastoma when he was a 12 year old 6th grader.  As he entered the hospital , Cole noticed that there were many younger patients that were fighting their own cancer battles. He instinctively knew that this was not right and that he wanted to be a voice for these kids. So began the amazing advocacy work for so many children that Cole started  as a 12 year old while a patient himself,  and that this pediatric brain cancer survivor continues today. Cole will talk about setting up a meeting with American Cancer Society CEO Gary Reedy and  asked him to support the ideas that he had to help these children, including expanding the Relay For Life program . After Cole heard the word YES to his ideas , the Gold Together Non profit that he and his mom Laura started was well on its way.
