Episode 6 – A story of childhood cancers, resilience, and using lived experience to support others– Alan Winnett from Candlelighters NL shares

Our kids also get cancer – let’s not forget them when we talk or think about how to control and win over cancer.

In Canada, every year around 1,000 kids will be diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, we will also lose around 200 kids to cancer annually.

Pediatric cancers have impacts on the kids, their parents & siblings, friend, and extended family.

In this podcast, we talked with Alan Winnett, a parent of a child with a history of cancer and a board member for NL CandleLighters, a local charity and community support organization in NL focusing on pediatric cancers.

Check this podcast to learn the perspectives and experience by Alan and the many support programs available to families affected by pediatric cancers through the NL CandleLighters.

On this World Day of Cancer, we are excited to release our Podcast Episode 1, where Jason, Janine, and myself talk about cancer, our province, and a bagel (!) in a comfy, cozy, and friendly way 🙂

remove stigma around cancer

make it a conversation topic

learn from each other

so that we can help reduce our risk of getting cancer and support ourselves and others going through cancer better.

Please join us in this goal.
