from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Colleen Kisel's son Martin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when he was 7 years old in 1993.  Martin is now 36 years old and has been able to live a very productive life following his cancer battle. Colleen will talk about Martin and how she would give him a toy after each type of cancer procedure that he had to go through.This gesture led to her deciding that other pediatric cancer patients would love to receive toys as well, which then gave Colleen the idea to start the Pediatric Oncology TREASURE CHEST FOUNDATION, which now has donated toys to children in 64 hospitals in 21 states throughout the country.
