CCA Month - Claire Masikewich - Teaches Us How to be Strong Like Sloane

A re-release episode from Feb 15 2024. While her 6 year old daughter Sloane was in the hospital, undergoing high dose chemo treatments, Claire Masikewich chatted back and forth with us, via whatsapp voice messages to help us raise awareness about this incredible cause that deserves more funding and research. Claire graciously gave us her time and knowledge to help us put together this episode. Full of honest stories about what her daughters symptoms were, to how her and her family responded and a few of the mental battles that they go through and still work to overcome. We know there is so much more to this story than we were able to cover. However, the information provided here... from statistics about childhood cancer, to intense moments of anxiety as a parent, this episode is a must listen. Here are some resources to gain further information, and/or donate to Childhood Cancer Research.
