Teen Support Bags
Our highly popular Teen Support Bag Program provides inspiration and support for teenagers with all cancers. Nikki identified a gap in support for teenagers dealing with cancer when she was diagnosed at 17 years old. Younger pediatric patients receive great support, and adults can better handle their own needs. Teenagers are "stuck in the middle." They have unique challenges. They need our support!
