Listen "Episode 16 - Your child has cancer. A phrase no parents will ever want to hear."

Episode Synopsis

Imagine hearing the words "Your child has a very aggressive form of childhood cancer. Imagine being told he has a 20% chance to live 5 years."

My guest today is Silvia Vanni born and raised in South Florida. She has five amazing children,
Steven, Adrian, Samantha, Sergio, and her baby Salvatore who tragically died one month shy of his 8th Birthday on March 19th, 2011.
Silvia founded the Mystic Force Foundation with her husband in 2008 when they realized how little
money goes to research for childhood cancer. They were determined to find a cure for their son Sal and all the
other children like him. They also started a lab at the University of Miami for childhood cancer
research, where the Mystic Force Foundation continues to fund groundbreaking research. Since
her baby died she made it her mission in life to save all the kids she can and to make their time
during treatment as happy & 'fun' as possible.
