One of my most significant opportunities and joys is serving on the board of directors for Special Love, Inc. – an organization that helps children and families fighting #ChildhoodCancer. My relationship with the organization’s mission is very personal; my son Ryan and our family have been on the receiving side of their services since 1997.
Please check out this 36-minute No Politics #Podcast for a great discussion with Executive Director Jan Bresch. She explains so well the various programs of support that make an incredible difference for families. Looking for a well-organized and highly rated #charity to support? Look no further.
In the podcast, a portion focuses on the thoughts of a previous camper and now counselor, Julia Jones. The link to the complete reflection is in the comments – Julia does a magnificent job articulating the bonds and magic that Special Love camps create.
Here is a brief excerpt from Julia’s blog thoughts:
