Hyundai Hope on Wheels Raises Awareness for Pediatric Cancer #EndChildhoodCancer

While on spring break, I was lucky enough to attend a philanthropic event with fellow bloggers that holds a special place in my heart.  #EndChildhoodCancer is a hashtag that I’m happy to spread in hopes that it will help others.

Hyundai Hope on wheels The Moms

 

Hyundai Hope on Wheels is an organization that raises awareness for pediatric cancer.

Helping Kids fight cancer

The messages of the afternoon completely resonated with me.  All of the mom’s on the panel trusted their mother’s instinct when they felt that there was something not right with the diagnosis.

Hyundai Hope on Wheels

I remember how my mom said she knew right away that my baby brother was not well.  Instead of being himself,  he was just in the crib not moving around and it was mother’s instinct that made her immediately take him to the doctor.

My brother, who was not yet 2, survived Wilms Tumor and is now a father of 2 with one on the way.  When I heard that this year will mark 100 million dollars in donations for life-saving research funds from Hyundai Hope on Wheels, I thought how great it will be to hear about more success stories like his.

Thank you to The Moms for spreading the word about Hope on Wheels and #EndChildhoodCancer.

The video below is a recap of the event and what was shared between the moms of survivors and doctors.

    This really is an amazing cause! It’s so important to go with our gut instincts as moms. We are connected to our children and that inner voice is always right! Thank you for sharing such a worthy cause!

    What a very important cause! I grew up with a good friend who suffered from pediatric cancer. I truly do not know how their loved ones get through it! There are some really strong folks out there! A mothers instinct is always right! I am happy to hear your brother is a survivor!

    this is awesome that they have raised so much money.

    a very worthy cause. We support camp kesem, who provides free camps for children whose parents suffer from cancer. An often overlooked group

    Our family has never personally dealt with childhood cancer but as a mother and grandmother, my heart goes out to all that have suffered. I fully support Hope on Wheels and pray that more people join in the cause. Thank you for sharing this with us!

    I wish it was that easy to end childhood cancer. I’m glad the word is spreading about it, and raising awareness. Unfortunately this hits close to home, and I’m glad people are talking about it, and big names like Hyundai are joining in to help out.

    I’m hoping they find a cure someday. Youtuber Talia Joy died of Cancer at such a young age and she was such a joyful soul

    Cancer is so scary but seems even worse when it affects kids! This sounds like a great organization to help fund cancer research!! I love that Hyundai partnered up with them to help wipe out cancer!

  11. Aida Ingram says

    I interned at CHOP when I was in seminary and saw so many kids pass away form Cancer. I am thankful that they are supporting this organization.

    My sister worked on a cancer floor at a children’s hospital and it was really hard on her. This is a great cause for the Hyundai company to get behind.

  13. Mama to 5 BLessings says

    April 11, 2015 at 2:03 pm

    That is great that they are spreading the word. I like when big companies raise awareness to sch important causes.

  14. Paula Schuck says

    April 12, 2015 at 12:17 am

    That you for sharing about this event. It is so important to bring awareness to childhood cancers and raise money for research. I agree with what you said. As a mom, it is so important to trust your gut. Sounds like your brother is living a great life now.

  15. Melissa Vera says

    April 12, 2015 at 12:54 am

    Cancer at any age sucks. But when you are a young child that is the worse. Thankfully there are companies like Hyundai that help to raise awareness of this awful disease.

  16. rochkirstin says

    April 12, 2015 at 9:00 pm

    This is a great story that tells people to become more inspired. There are many others in the world who are experiencing the same. Spreading hope through the video and talks will enable children to become more positive in battling through cancer.

  17. Janeane Davis says

    April 12, 2015 at 10:58 pm

    This seems like a great way to help people to help people and to work at winning the war against pediatric cancers.

    April 13, 2015 at 2:19 am

    I had no idea that Hyundai “gave back” like this. I used to drive a hyundai and loved my car. I’m totally interested in learning more about this cause. 🙂

  19. Cara (@StylishGeek) says

    April 13, 2015 at 11:06 am

    Now I admire Hyundai as a company even more because of their Hyundai Hope on Wheels endeavors! Thank you for sharing your story. I hope and pray too that there will be a cure to pediatric cancers.

    ~ I am so glad I found this write up. Making us all aware of the fight that goes on to stomp out cancer from all ages knowing it’s the war that just shows up. Reach out to someone that has been hit with cancer or their child is going through it, it’s a battle that’s exhausting but the win is on the horizon. ~

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
