The Gold Hope Project offers free family photography sessions to any pediatric cancer patient at any state of treatment, remission, or survivorship. As a volunteer photographer for The Project, I’ve had the joy of meeting some wonderful “fighters” over the years, and have learned not to be surprised by their tremendous spirits. Last fall, I spent an afternoon with Mackenzie and her family. Mackenzie had been diagnosed with a brainstem glioma only a few months earlier and had undergone surgery and radiation, but despite these trials, her spirit of adventure was in full force for our session. You can learn more about The Gold Hope Project HERE. Please, if you know of any families who could benefit from a session, please refer them to the application on the site.
