Our mission is to help families build their own BrAve Team following a pediatric cancer diagnosis by providing support & education through our BrAve Programs.
Building BrAve Teams understands the challenges faced by children affected by a pediatric cancer diagnosis. That's why we utilize real life experiences in our stories. Being a child immersed in the medical world can be a frightening experience, often leading to traumatic outcomes. However, through our BrAve Team series of books, we aim to alleviate this fear by removing stigmas and empowering children to build their own BrAve Team by teaching them who to look for and rely on in times of need!
We firmly believe that storytelling and shared experiences are powerful tools for fostering resilience, strength, and unity.
We will provide a copy of BOTH our guidebooks at NO cost to families facing a cancer diagnosis!

What is a
team?
A BrAve Team is made up of medical professionals, loved ones, neighbors, and even strangers who have supported you during your challenging medical journey. These individuals are the cream of the crop, the top picks, and the kind-hearted heroes who help you navigate the toughest days… they put the “A” in BrAve Team!
