Six children, adolescents and young adults are diagnosed with cancer every week in Ireland.
Created by Childhood Cancer Ireland, Gold Ribbon Conversations is the podcast that explores the real experiences of childhood cancer, the fear, anxiety, sadness and pain.
But also the light, hope, friendships and the community that exists here.
Hosted by Sinead O'Moore, these episodes will share personal stories, early symptoms, moments of diagnosis, the impact of treatment, survivorship and bereavement, as well as hearing from physical and emotional experts in this field.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Gold Ribbon Conversations is just one way that Childhood Cancer Ireland are supporting families fighting cancer.

No family ever expects a Childhood Cancer diagnosis to arrive at their door - nor do they anticipate the reality of figuring out their family finances when one or all parents have to step away from paid employment.
It’s a reality for the familys we support at Childhood Cancer Ireland which is why we are so proud to partner with the LIA the Centre of Excellence for the Education and Development of Finance Professionals who volunteer their time with our financial advice programme.
Joining me on this podcast is Joanne Keane, CEO of the LIA and Richard Ferris, a financial advisor and volunteer with this programme but who is also a parent who understands exactly what you are going through as his daughter Ella-May was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at just 18 months old.
Here they share more about the programme which provides free expert financial advice to families fighting childhood cancer - how normal it is to not know where you stand with your personal financial policies or employer schemes and how having an expert think clearly for you in this moment is such a huge support.
And Richard shares his own story as a parent in this situation - why he is giving his time to help others going through this now and gives us all so much hope as his daughter is well, life kept going and their stability returned.
