Anna Jerome was a very happy, friendly and smart girl. She was a daughter, a twin, a big sister, a cousin, a student, an athlete, a band member and a friend. She attended the elementary school where her mother taught with her brother and sister. When she received her diagnosis of AML, an aggressive form of Leukemia, the summer before her freshman year at Boston Latin school, the whole community was shaken. Anna enjoyed shopping, music and going to Patriot games with her "padre". But, most of all she loved the beach: Cape with her cousins or Myrtle Beach with her family. Anna loved life and especially loved going out and enjoying it.
She was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She made a difference in the lives of all around her. After Anna's first round of treatment and achieving remission, her doctors told her that she was eligible for Make A Wish. She declined, stating that she was already fortunate and the Wish should be offered to someone who really needs it. It is with all of this in mind that Anna's Pals was created. We hope to continue her legacy of kindness.

Welcome to the Childhood Cancer Hall of Champions Podcast. Here, our mission is different. We are not about numbers, cures, donations or research initiatives.
We want to dedicate our platform - www.childhoodcancerhall.com and this podcast to children (age 0-21) and their families who are affected by childhood cancer. We want to share their stories, celebrate their lives and create a community & support network that’s forever free for these families.
Whether you are a child, sibling, family member, friend, or someone who wants to learn more about this subject, you are welcome here. It’s a safe place where we can help lift each other up, educate the public, find new language, and let the stories live on.
Let the families not be defined by cancer. These are their stories, legacies, and living memorials.
The podcast currently has 9 episodes available.
