Blogging from the "Teen Room" at Children's Hospital in Atlanta.
Helping with the WSB Care-a-Thon 2008 to assist the AFLAC Cancer center for children.
Sitting with a number of young men and women who are battling or have battled cancer. This is their home away from home.
Remarkably brave kids. Patient and enduring parents who love them and walk alongside them.
This is an impressive facility, one of the best in the nation. Perhaps THE best.
Two things strike me:
1) Parents with this kind of strength and faith inspire me. I have survived cancer (melanoma) but how do you walk alongside your child as they fight cancer? These parents are special.
2) Immense privilege in being a part of the station who uses its resources to help the people of Atlanta give more than $1,000,000 to help these kids. I am blessed to be a part of the WSB team here in Atlanta.
May God bless this hospital and its team of care-givers and healers.
