This morning I  carried a cup of coffee and my breakfast to my desk, so I could catch up on some e-mails and read my fave blog sites. By chance two of my blogging friends (both phenomenal women) have written about childhood cancer and both have both put a small video footage on their sites where the children themselves tell you what it’s like having cancer. Both videos are very moving and succinctly get the point across about childhood cancer. Do please watch them – they will tug at your heart strings but these children’s voices should be heard.

Look on Elizabeth’s blog for the post: We can make a difference, one person at a time. And the video itself is also on: Tinypic. Elizabeth is a Chondrosarcoma survivor, patient advocate, and the owner/moderator of the Chondrosarcoma Support Group. She is also a wonderful woman and a dear friend. The effort she puts in to raising cancer awareness is astounding and inspirational.

Tina posted: A video worth watching and sharing. Tina’s daughter Ambriel is a Chondrosarcoma survivor. She has been through most parent’s worst nightmare, of hearing that your child has cancer. Throughout this trauma she has done her best to hold it together, help and support Ambriel, while continuing to be a loving supportive mom for her other children, hold down a job, run a home, and be a wife as well as being a regular contributor of support and advice at the Chondrosarcoma Support Group. Phew! Just writing that exhausts me. Tina, you are a remarkable woman and a dear blogging friend. You are inspirational too.
