John and Melynda are joined by special guest, Former Miss Teen South Dakota Hunter Widvey. They discuss childhood cancer awareness and the importance of being the change you want to see in the world.

Hunter Widvey and has the goal of bringing more awareness to childhood cancer in South Dakota. She has felt a calling over the past several years to become a pediatric oncologist. She is currently a pre-med student at Augustana University majoring in Chemistry & Government/International Affairs. Hunter loves volunteering at the Sanford Children’s Hospital every week and getting to meet amazing kids who are going through battles they never should have had to face. Childhood cancer is extremely underfunded and she thinks a way to fix this problem is to raise awareness. Most people are unaware that childhood cancer only receives 4% of the National Cancer Institute funds. Many of the methods of treatment are outdated and unspecialized. With more funding, more lives will be saved and the quality of life after treatment will be much better.
