As a fellow cancer mom, this would be amazing!
This is a great idea. Us childhood cancer moms (momcologists) have to put our entire life on hold to care for our children. We put everything we can into making our children survive and everything “us” gets put on hold. My son was diagnosed with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2013 at the age of 4. He had to do 3 1/2 years of chemotherapy treatment. A LONG 3 1/2 year fight! We all still struggle with PTSD. We struggle every time he gets sick. He has some lasting long term effects. He is my hero! But it’s time us moms get some fun and love!
No one is more deserving than the kids and parents that have fought this horrible disease! My daughter was diagnosed at 18 years old, one week after her high school graduation. While all her friends were beginning their new lives she was beginning the fight of her life. Four months after diagnosis she received a bone marrow transplant and she is now one year in remission. 19 years old and living life to the fullest!
This would be so amazing and such a huge step for the childhood cancer awareness platform. My son was dx with an aggressive form of brain cancer at 10 months old, he relapsed and is currently in year two of the relaspe protocol and is 4 years old, hospital life is the only thing he knows. We watch Ellen every day, to smile and laugh or even just to cry due to the extreme kindness and support that she shares with so many in need. #liamstrong
YES!!! Ellen you spread so much kindness wonderful in this world, it would be AMAZING to just be in your presence. Us cancer mamas spend 100% of our time focused on our kiddos that we almost always forget that we should do something fun for ourselves. A show with an entire audience of us would be AWESOME! #cancermamasunite
Yes! I am part of the 46 Mommas, a group of cancer moms that works with St Baldricks to raise money for childhood cancer research. We have raised $2 million & counting, & this April we stormed DC to lobby Congress for legislation supporting more research for our kids. Childhood cancer is NOT rare, & we would love the chance to spread awareness for this important cause!
This would be amazing to add awareness and #GoGoldForChildrensCancer
My 7 year old son was diagnosed with a Lymphoma July 2018. We Love Ellen and hope she can bring awareness to the huge need for more research involving Childhood Cancer.

We lost our sweet girl at the tender age of 6 in 2011 to Neuroblastoma. Let’s do this for all these kiddos and their families! Let’s show them they will never fight alone, and raise the worlds awareness about just how big this pediatric cancer epidemic is! “It’s not my child” “it won’t happen to us”....well it wasn’t my child and didn’t happen to us, until it was and it did. Our children deserve more than 4% funding! Thank you for your help and support Ellen!
For the kids who are depending on 50-year-old therapies to save their lives, yes, yes, yes! They need this. Bring attention to research. Kids deserve #morethan4. So we can prevent optionless children, please bring attention to this cause. Ellen, please #GoGold for Children's Cancer Awareness month.
Please Ellen, please!
As a single mom (teacher) to 5 adopted kids, and a cancer kid mom, this would bring such awareness, and possibly a cure.
My ck is now 17, out of treatment for 18 months, and #90 of 523 in her senior class. She wants to be a pediatric oncology nurse to give back some of the love she received.
I am so proud of her!

Ellen, this would be amazing if you could do this for these super hero moms. My daughter has been fighting a brain tumor for 11 years, since she was 4 months old. We have been working for years, with our foundation, to spread awareness and raise funds for research. By doing a show focusing on childhood cancer, you would help us in a tremendous way to raise more awareness about the struggles these kids go through and how we need to find more effective, less toxic treatments for them, so they can LIVE and not just survive. Thank you!
I too am part of the Momcology group. My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer in January of this year. Let’s raise awareness and find a cure for our babies! #sarahsmiles
Oh my gosh this would be amazing!! My son Jacob is a 3 time cancer survivor diagnosed with brain cancer at age 3.5, relapsed at age 5 and then Leukemia at age 9. Jacob is kicking **** and is now 10 yrs old. We have been through hell and back as a family. Jacob and I enjoy Ellen so much and have spent many hours laughing at the Halloween Haunted Houses Ellen makes Andy go through. We also love watching her scare her guests. Thank you Ellen for all you do, for making us smile on days we didn't think we could. Having an audience filled with Childhood cancer moms would be such a wonderful experience for so many much deserving mama's!!
My 10 yo continues to fight small bowel cancer and will forever fight due to a genetic cancer predisposition syndrome. He has spent the last 2-1/2 years in and out of hospitals with multiple surgeries & procedures. We know there is no cure, we know there is no escaping - we only hope we stay ahead and make the best of our life with him <3 Watching Ellen has given me a respite during the most difficult of times especially losing our 4 yo daughter earlier this year (also had this condition). We hope this campaign also raises awareness for families like ours <3 #yashswarriorbuddies #cancersucks #gogold #saveourkids
As a momcologist, I think this is a great idea! My son has been battling Ewing’s Sarcoma for 6 years. He’s such a warrior! Anything that helps raise funds and bring awareness to this horrible disease is the right thing to do!! September is pediatric cancer awareness month. Let’s fill the seats for a September show with warrior moms!! #gogold #findacure #raiseawareness #saveourwarriors
As a mom of a child who battled brain cancer, I would be so appreciative if you could represent this special group of mamas and help raise awareness for severely underfunded pediatric cancer research.

Yes!!! Please, Ellen!! You are so loved and watched by so many that I know you will be able to get the word out about our children and the need for awareness and funding for childhood cancer. 7 children lose their lives daily. That is 7 too many. As a childhood cancer mom, please help us get the word out that children get cancer too. Childhood cancer is not rare.
My son was diagnosed with high risk ALL in January of 2017 and relapsed during treatment in July 2018. We are currently preparing to receive CAR T-cell therapy because traditional chemotherapy did not work for him. The many families that we have met during our journey inspire us to keep going. This would be an important opportunity to raise awareness regarding new treatment options and support the families in their fight.

We need to continue to spread awareness and find a cure. My sons a survivor but unfortunately I've met so many parents along the way that are not as fortunate. This needs to end. 4% isn't enough funding for our children

This would be wonderful Ellen. As a mother who has traveled the path of childhood cancer, I have learned no one fights this alone. We get our support from one another. Even though we have not personally meant each other we are connected and we understand what the other is going through. Many times it is the only outlet we know we will not be judged with our questions or feelings. Research has made tremendous strides but so much more needs to be done. My daughters m4 AML diagnosis would have been a death sentence if not for research but research needs to continue to find more cures for childhood cancer. More funding More awareness. Please consider this topic. I am so thankful to be a part of the group. A group no mother wants to have to join but thankful it was there in my darkest days as a mother.
As another cancer mom, this would truly be incredible! #GoGold4Gabe
These kids CANNOT fight alone. The world either is oblivious to childhood cancer, or ignoring it because “ it won’t happen to me” let me tell you. That use to be me. I was oblivious and it wasn’t going to be me or anyone I loved. Until it was. July 27,2016. My sweet baby had a grand mal seizure which led to the discovery of his brain cancer, days before his 4th birthday. I had no idea what I was about to see, learn, and fight for. Hearing the words your child has cancer, is by far the most fearful, gut wrenching devastating moment of every single one of our lives. No matter how hard I begged God to let it be me, it wasn’t me, and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. My son, Jaxson, has 3 craniotomies, and 30 rounds of radiation to his precious little brain. He had a stroke, a brain bleed, and even lost all control of the left side of his body, leaving him that side permanently weak. But, we’re one of the lucky ones. He’s alive, he’s happy, he’s learning, and he’s the most amazing little blessing. But sadly, we know many who weren’t lucky. Imagine, Ellen. Imagine being able to show the world some insight in what really goes on with these kids. That we’re “saving” them with drugs that can kill them or cause secondary cancers. Damaging their little body’s beyond repair. We need to bring awareness, we need to bring donations, we need a real cure, one that isn’t trying to kill our kids while saving them. Every single family I have met along this journey has become instant family. We bond, we understand, and we fight, for each other. These kids deserve so much more, and these families have faced a devastation you can’t comprehend unless you’ve lived it, while watching their babies, their heart and soul, suffer. Fighting for one more day. I pray that you can do this for the childhood cancer world Ellen. You can make a difference. We all can. Awareness- donations. Donations-research. Research-cure. Because no one fights alone. #momcology #cancermom #kidsgetcancertoo #jaxstrong
My son was diagnosed shortly after his 5th birthday. Preschool and kindergarten are not meant to be spent in hospital beds! My son is the strongest person I know! This would mean a lot to all especially my fellow cancer moms! #evanstrong
Yes, this would be wonderful! Please bring awareness to pediatric cancer, there needs to be more funding and research. Most treatment & research is geared for adult cancer...our cancer children deserve more studies to treat appropriately.
My beautiful daughter was just diagnosed with stage 4 Medulloblastoma last month & it has changed our life drastically forever. She will have lifetime dibilatating affects in hopes to heal her & keep the cancer from coming back. Unfortunately there is not enough research to know what exact amount of treatment can cure my sweet girl. It’s awful we have to choose the hardest treatment just to have no regrets in the future. No parent should have to venture into this unknown & it truly is unknown because there’s not enough research & awareness.
We have already had experience with benign brain tumors & chemo treatment with our son just a few months after we adopted both kiddos. They have totally different unrelated diagnosis now & our daughter’s baseline was completely normal before she had malignant cancer. All of this has caught us by total surprise! I’m told brain tumors are rare but we know this subject all too well in our family unfortunately. It’s been a nightmare no child & family should have to live with.
Please spread the word & awareness for these kids & their families Ellen!!!

You will never have a better audience! Us cancer moms leave our expectations at the door and live in the moment! We are a tribe. A weird club to be in, but the most amazing group of supporters you’ll ever meet! We are strong!!
