Reilly Cardella will talk about the passing of her best friend Kassie from Leukemia 13 years ago today, and will discuss the many ways that she has been involved as a Pediatric Cancer activist and advocate on today's podcast.

On October 24th of 2011 Reilly Cardella's best friend Kassie passed away from Leukemia when they were both 13 years old.  Reilly will discuss the relationship that they had and the inspiration that Reilly developed to become a very strong voice in the cause of Pediatric Cancer. When Reilly was 20 years old she started her non-profit Love For Lady Bug which was named after Kassie, then became a Board Member and Vice President of the Glimmer of Hope Foundation , and in 2023 was voted Miss Apopka, which is a city of 55,000 located near Orlando Florida, and recognized her for all of the advocacy work that Reilly has been involved with. Her advocacy work for the Pediatric Cancer community will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.
