Friends of Coco
Meet Coco's Cancer Heroes!
Every year, about 12,000 children and teens are diagnosed with cancer. All of these children are our heroes and we are proud to celebrate their strength and perseverance. These children all have a certain fighting spirit and presence that sets them apart from the ordinary. When Coco was fighting her fight against cancer, I met so many amazing children. Every time I spoke with them, I was inspired by their love of life, strong smiles, and will to live. I never once heard any of them complain about being poked, stuck, tired, or… having cancer. They are the reason the Coco Foundation works so hard to raise funds for a cure. Our goal, as well as many others, is to see the day children no longer have to suffer from this terrible disease. These children are truly special and they have given me a gift I will never let go of: The true understanding of Hope and Love.
