When we talk about sight, we often talk about what we can see. But for families affected by , childhood eye cancer, the story can be much bigger.
It can begin with a parent noticing a white glow in a photograph or an eye that doesn't seem quite right. These subtle changes can be early signs of a serious condition, and knowing when to seek medical care can help save a child's life and sight.
For families navigating treatment, sight can represent hope, difficult decisions, and uncertainty about what comes next. For survivors, the story continues long after treatment ends. Some live with one eye, some with low vision or blindness, and each has their own experiences, adaptations, and aspirations.
And through it all, there's the extraordinary importance of being seen and supported by people who understand!
This , we're celebrating the many stories behind sight. Not just the challenges of childhood eye cancer, but the relationships, courage, joy, and possibilities that are all part of life beyond diagnosis.
At WE C Hope, we're privileged to learn from families and survivors who share these experiences. You can read some of their stories through our 'Through Our Eyes' collection: https://bit.ly/3Tq4oNK
**We'd love to ask you something: Through your eyes, what does sight mean?**
