"It wasn't an option ... I had to do something," says Sam Gifford, who was 11 when his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sam is one of the four 2020 Stefanie's Champions, the award created by Stefanie Spielman to honor the contributions of caregivers. In Part 2 of this episode, Chris and Maddie Spielman fill us in on this year's Step Up For Stefanie's Champions walk/run, and Stefanie's enduring legacy. We'll also meet the two other Stefanie's Champions: Sam, and Teri Baum, a cancer survivor who cared for her friend and teaching colleague.
