Thank you so much to Knoodle, Rosaria, and Sandra for having me on Founder’s Hour! It was truly an honor to share Nitalia’s story and the mission behind The Purple Society. (www.werpurple.org)
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to speak about the reality of childhood cancer, and to shine a light on what these children and families truly need. Thank you for creating space for conversations that matter and for helping bring greater awareness to this mission!
