Supporting families touched by childhood cancer

​

​

Candlelighters is not merely a board of executives making decisions for families affected by childhood cancer.  We are a group of parents who have personally experienced the challenges of a childhood cancer diagnosis, dedicated to supporting families in ways that we wished were available during our own journeys.
