E45: Sky High for Kids: A Beacon of Hope in the Fight Against Cancer with Brittany Hebert Franklin

In this episode, we welcome Brittany Hebert Franklin, the CEO and Founder of Sky High for Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children battling cancer. Brittany shares her incredible journey and the profound impact Sky High for Kids has on children and families facing this daunting challenge. Brittany's journey began in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 2007, where she founded Sky High for Kids to make a difference in childhood cancer, the leading cause of disease-related death in the United States. Raised on a farm, Brittany developed a strong work ethic and learned invaluable life lessons during a challenging period in her life. A mission to raise funds for St. Jude's led to an inspiring grassroots effort that raised $50,000 through a basketball tournament. Brittany emphasizes changing the way we view cancer, focusing on hope, resilience, and medical advancements. Sky High for Kids continues making a difference through adventure trips, support for families, and significant contributions to research and treatment facilities. Community engagement through events, volunteer opportunities, and corporate sponsorships is crucial to their mission. Listeners are encouraged to support Sky High for Kids through volunteering, partnerships, or donations in the shared mission against childhood cancer. https://skyhighforkids.org/donate/
