Through the Shining Stars programs, children experience many benefits, including enhanced overall health, increased self-confidence, and the opportunity to participate in activities with family and friends. Our community of children and their families get involved with each others lives; they encourage and support each other. We bring newly diagnosed children into our program each year, and they join activities and interact with kids who are in the midsts of difficult treatments, and kids who are healed and cancer-free. A very inspiring aspect of our programs is when a child struggling with their illness meets a child who has recovered from the same disease. The child who is fighting illness gets hope from this meeting for wellness and a better life while the child who has been there and back has empathy and support.
