Mission: Kathy?s Camp for Kids, a non-profit organization, was formed to create a unique community where children of cancer patients can share their journey and meet other kids and adults who know what it?s like to have cancer as a part of their daily lives. When an adult is diagnosed with cancer, the battle begins almost immediately. Knowledge is sought, options are weighed, and a clearly-defined course of action is embarked upon. But, for the children of cancer patients, the initial diagnosis is often followed by an extended period of fear, confusion, unanswered questions, and worry that their parent and even their childhood will somehow be taken from them. Kathy?s Camp for Kids is a place where fear of cancer is replaced with Fun, Friendship, and Encouragement.
