10 Half Marathons to Mark 10 Years since Diagnosis - Aoife Lucey
About this podcast
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.
To donate text GOLD to 50300 or visit childhoodcancer.ie for more.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
