I was contacted by a mom I interviewed back in January for an article I wrote on the Faces of Childhood Cancer www.machonink.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/faces2.pdf. Truly, the most sobering piece I've ever researched and written.
The parents of these children with life-threatening diseases are absolute heroes in my book. I'm not sure I could match their strength if challenged.
This mom wanted to update me on her adorable daughter's progress in her fight against Leukemia as well as let me know about an awesome muralist who was donating her talents to adorn the walls of a Sacramento-area pediatric cancer clinic.
In talking with the artist, Niki Gamboa, www.nikiart.net, I was so inspired by her spirit. She told me she was actually interested in starting a nonprofit business that would be devoted to helping brighten the lives of those in need. I wish Niki all the luck and all the appreciation she deserves.
