Today is Day 3️⃣0️⃣ of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

For 30 days, I’ve shared the parts of childhood cancer people don’t always want to see. The diagnosis. The surgeries. The hospital rooms. The treatments. The fear. The hope. The facts. And the loss.

This is the Angel Tribute Wall at CureFest 47 walls filled with the faces and names of children who died from childhood cancer. And as overwhelming as that number is, it still represents only the families who submitted their children for this event. It is not even a fraction of the children who should still be here.

Every picture is someone’s child. Someone’s sibling. Someone who had a favorite song, a laugh, a personality, plans, and an entire life they deserved to live.

Noelle is one of those children.

And just across from these walls were 57 walls honoring the fighters and survivors. The children who have faced childhood cancer and are still here. We honor them too. The ones still fighting, the ones living with everything treatment has left behind, and the survivors carrying stories that childhood cancer will forever be a part of.

September ends today. Childhood cancer DOES NOT.

Please don’t stop paying attention because the calendar turns to October. Everyone is about to go pink. And it’s just another day.
Keep sharing their stories. Keep saying their names. Keep advocating. Keep demanding better treatments and more research. THESE ARE CHILDREN. They are our future.

These children deserved more than awareness for one month.

They all deserve more tomorrows. 💛🎗️

Day 2️⃣9️⃣
Second to last day of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Today, I’m sharing the hardest day of all.
The day childhood cancer took my daughter. There is no way to soften that.

This is childhood cancer too..
Not just the brave smiles. Not just the ribbons, the fundraisers, or the awareness posts.
This is where it can lead.
A child gone. A family shattered.
A life that should have had so much more time. More tomorrows.

No parent should ever have to hold their child’s hand knowing it’s the last time.
No parent should ever have to pick out a casket for their child.
But this is the reality for far too many families.

Childhood cancer is NOT rare.
It is underfunded, devastating, and deadly.
And children like Noelle are the reason I will never stop speaking her name. Because there are far too many more just like my daughter.

These children deserved more.
They deserved more tomorrows. 💛

Day 2️⃣8️⃣
We prayed for this moment.

We prayed to get Noelle out of that hospital and back home. Back to her room. Back to her family. Back to the place where she belonged.

And when that day finally came, we were so happy.
She was coming home.

But she was also coming home on hospice. With a trach. Completely dependent on a ventilator. Machines, medications, oxygen, supplies. Our home becoming an extension of the hospital we had spent so much time trying to escape.

It was one of the happiest and most devastating moments of my life happening at the exact same time.

Because while we were celebrating bringing our girl home, we knew what bringing her home meant.

The cancer had completely taken over her body.

There were no more treatments to try. No more surgeries that could save her. No next plan waiting for us. No more options for us.

We weren’t bringing her home because she was better.
We were bringing her home because there was nothing left medicine could do.

I had to hold both truths at once.
I was grateful beyond words that she was finally home.

And completely shattered knowing why.
But Noelle was still here.

So we didn’t spend those days treating her like she was dying.

We treated her like she was living.

We surrounded her with the people she loved. We made memories. We laughed. We celebrated. We loved her as loudly as we possibly could.

Because until her very last breath, she was still Noelle.

Childhood cancer doesn’t always look like ringing a bell and going home cancer free.

Sometimes it looks like a little girl finally getting to go home after 90 days in the PICU. With a ventilator breathing for her and her parents knowing they are bringing her home to die.

This is childhood cancer.

Day 2️⃣7️⃣
You may want to scroll past this these images. We couldn’t.

This was our little girl. Noelle. This was childhood cancer.

And while these images are hard to see, they were infinitely harder for her to live. Fighting with every single thing her body had left in it to fight. Had a leg removed. A whole lung removed. And over 50 spots removed from her remaining lung.
Hard for us to sit back and feel completely helpless. Wanting to give up every single thing we had just to switch places with her. To take the pain, the fear, the suffering. All of it. so she wouldn’t have to. So she could be here right now.

We will never stop showing the truth.

Day 2️⃣6️⃣
Photos taken several hours apart….

Before surgery, she was still our Noelle. Smiling, sitting up, completely unaware of how much her little body was about to endure.

And then came the after..

A surgery that would save her life, we hoped. A surgery we knew would change her forever.

There was no easy choice. There was no “good” option. There was only doing what had to be done in an attempt to get the cancer out of her body.

That is childhood cancer.

It is signing papers for things no parent should ever have to consent to. It is handing your child over to surgeons knowing that when you see them again, something will be different forever and praying with everything in you that the sacrifice will be enough. It’s the goodbye and I love you so much. The hugs. The kisses.

These pictures were taken only hours apart. You can see the fear in my eyes. Petrified of the unknown that was to come. But holding it together for Noelle. 🤍
🎗️💪🏼💛
