Child life specialists help kids cope with hospitalization through the power of play & education.

Below are some of my favorite websites & organization that help support and raise awareness for those affected by childhood cancer:

• HeadbandsofHope.org – for every headband purchased, one is given to a girl with cancer and $1 is donated to the St.Baldricks foundation to help fund pediatric cancer research. In honor of Childhood cancer awareness month, the organization is doubling up and giving away two headbands for every one that is purchased & donating $2 to the St.Baldrick’s foundation. Use promo code “HopeDiane” at checkout for a discount.
• Alexslemonade.org – this is an amazing foundation that started when 4-year-old Alex said she wanted to start a lemonade stand. They have tons of information on their website about ways you can get involved and raise awareness.
• Acco.org – the American Childhood Cancer Organization website also has a lot of information on was that you’re able to help raise awareness & advocate for children affected by cancer.
