Jonathan Walsh - I’ve been waiting a long time to write this. Today, my first book is ready for release. But truly, it’s not my book. It belongs to all the families and communities who have walked through the battle that is Childhood Cancer. It’s specifically held by those who’ve personally experienced the Eastern Sandusky County Childhood Cancer Cluster.
I remember the day at WTOL in Toledo when I was handed a tiny newspaper article about 8-9 pediatric cancer cases coming to light in and around Clyde, OH. From that day on, a passion project began. Our station was committed to showing what Childhood Cancer really looks like. Families were brave. They were scared. They shared their stories, their fight, and their nightmares.
I along with all of our viewers were inspired by their strength. Communities came together and helped each other through their love, support, and fundraising. All of it in an effort to make a difference in the lives of people who they knew and all others battling pediatric cancer across the county.
