Each year, CCF produces a few videos that capture the resilience of young cancer fighters and the promise of new therapies to combat childhood cancer. We welcome you to view and share. You may also view all of our videos, including our research symposium presentations on the CCF YouTube Channel. We are grateful to 4 Square Productions and The Kahlert Foundation for making these videos possible.
