I hope that more young people with cancer will have a chance to see this video and be inspired. My own son, who just turned 17 last week, has been battling cancer for about a year now. I fear that a lot of the time, he feels like his life is out of control. I know that I feel that way a lot of the time. Videos like this one, and even sites like http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-ccp, help so much. Thanks for posting; I'll be sure to pass it along. What a great video.
