Podcasts by Hug Your People
This started when my 4 year old son was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Each episode shares our experiences, treatments & life.
In July 2020, my son finished chemotherapy & turned the corner toward healing. We felt as if we had a second chance.
In July 2021, we sold everything, bought an RV & travel the country helping other cancer families through our non profit called Hug Your People.
Thank you for being on our team.
