Shifting the Landscape of Childhood Cancer Care Through Athletic Activism
Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. Even so, only four percent of that National Cancer Institute’s budget focuses on childhood cancers. These are more than abstract statistics for this episode’s guests Angela Dina and Michelle Payne. Angela and Michelle are founders of Turn it Gold, a non-profit that elevates awareness about childhood cancer and survivorship. Angela and Michelle join co-host Dr. Lynn Harter to reflect on the origin of the organization, the role of faith in their healing journeys, and the importance of athletic activism in shifting the landscape of childhood cancer care.
