Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.

For the final episode of the year, I am joined by Eoin Cronly and his mother Lucy.  

Eoin is now 22 and was diagnosed with Leukaemia when he was 11 followed by, as he explains, every rare complication he could think of.

He missed out on a lot of school and was healthy enough to return just as lockdown happened.

But by understanding the accommodations he was entitled to, he sat the leaving cert and is now well on his way to finishing college - despite many health set backs and adverse side effects to steroid treatments.

Lucy was with him throughout and has trained as a parent peer supporter with Childhood Cancer Ireland to be able to offer support to other parents and is a huge advocate for sharing information and empathy. 

Please text GOLD to 50300 and donate €4 or visit childhoodcancer.ie for more.

Childhood Cancer Ireland is a charity founded by and led by parents of children with cancer who know that one of the greatest sources of strength for this fight, is conversation. As a non-government funded organisation, Childhood Cancer Ireland values every single donation.
