Healing Wings

Ten years ago, a mother lost her son to childhood cancer. Since then, she has devoted herself tirelessly to raising awareness, supporting countless families, and advocating for greater attention from the public, academia, and policymakers. Yet this year, as federal funding for childhood cancer research faced severe cuts, an international summit originally scheduled for September—one that could have changed the lives of countless families—was left in limbo, and several ongoing projects were forced to halt. Undeterred, she now moves between the academic and political spheres, fighting to reclaim hope for children and families still searching for a lifeline.
