““How, when you are only 15 years old, can you possibly be able to deal with the lifelong issue of infertility, knowing some day you would fall in love and have to share this aspect of yourself? This was a real part of our son’s life. As was the isolation, hopelessness and trauma that comes from a prolonged cancer battle. We felt an equally important part of his treatment was caring for and fostering his mental well-being, yet this was often difficult to accomplish. We found limited resources available to help a teenager facing cancer. This is why I started The MIP Foundation, to help other teens get the help they need.””
