Childhood Cancer Awareness! Please help this video go viral!
This is a video by one of our Candlelighters Kids, Carolyn Coveney, a 10 year survivor of Stage IV Neuroblastoma. Carolyn's video didn't win the CSPAN Student Cam competition. Let's make her dream come true - she wants as many people as possible to see it. Please post and share!
