Each year on April 28, we celebrate National BraveHearts Day to honor the bravery of families dealing with childhood cancer. During this time, pay tribute and support the families and friends of those involved in the child's life. With the hashtag #NationalBraveHeartsDay #SpotlightHope we focus on families navigating through cancer is hard and often scary. Families who have children with cancer need a good support system, but don't know where to turn. However, there is hope for families struggling with childhood cancer through a cell phone app called Spotlight Hope. This free app provides information on local resources, financial help, and transportation. In addition, Spotlight Hope provides a connection to other families who are also experiencing a similar situation. Most importantly, Spotlight Hope is designed to help navigate childhood cancer by finding people who they can rely on for help.
There are many ways you can participate in celebrating today's observance. You can: Spread the word about Spotlight Hope; Use #SpotlightHope and #NationalBraveHeartsDay to post on social media; Suggest the Spotlight Hope App to a family you know is dealing with childhood Cancer; Donate to this BraveHearts for Kids to allow them to continue their work.
On this National BraveHearts Day, let's stand in solidarity with the children and families demonstrating extraordinary bravery every single day. Let's offer them our support, share resources like Spotlight Hope, and let them know they are not alone.
