Listen Later

In this inspiring episode of Game Over: c*ncer, we sit down with two incredible community leaders and pediatric cancer advocates — Dr. Michelle Norden, a board-certified pediatrician, and her husband, Nick Norden, a personal injury attorney at Norden Leacox Accident and Injury Law.


From attending the first Gold Gala, to co-chairing the event two years in a row, the Nordens share how saying "yes" to leadership unlocked a whole new level of passion and impact in CKc's mission. They open up about balancing family, careers, and philanthropy — and how the power of their partnership helped them lead with joy. 

You’ll hear:
  • How Michelle’s experience as a pediatrician fuels her advocacy
  • Nick’s personal motivation to give back through his law firm
  • Why community involvement can be both meaningful and fun
  • Their new adventure: Running the 10K for CKc at the 2026 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend Presented by State Farm
Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or considering getting involved for the first time, this episode is a heartwarming reminder that small steps can lead to big impact. There’s a place for everyone in the fight against pediatric cancer.
