Does anyone know how to get a childhood cancer support group started? |
I live in Kansas and my sister and I have been hosting fundraisers for childhood cancer awareness. To our suprise, we have found several other children in our area diagnosed with cancer. The reason behind the two of us doing the fundraising efforts is my daughter was diagnosed with cancer at 2 y/o. She is now 15! She wants to help other kids with cancer as much as she can! Start with the hospital she was treated at or the hemo/oncl doctors offices she is seeing. They usually have some kind of social worker that can assist you or at least point you in the right direction. If that doesn't help, go to your local American Cancer Society chapter they might be able to assist you. Maybe try on here by looking up other foundations who might want to start a new chapter in your area. Of even your local sports groups, football, baseball or whatever. A lot of the sports people look to help our in the community. Email me off list. I am in Oklahoma and would LOVE to have something like this! We have the OCCA (Oklahoma Children's Cancer Association) that does special events for kids with cancer, but it is not really a support group. |
