Gabby had a Bag of Fun because when she got cancer she needed something to help her smile while she was in the hospital. Even though cancer is a scary word, you need to know that kids with cancer are just like you. They like to play, have fun and see their friends. Sometimes the medicine they take makes them feel tired and sick. Even though they might not feel very good they still need their friends. If you can’t see your friend you can write them a letter, make them a card or just leave a silly message. Gabby always liked knock-knock jokes, especially bad ones!

Below are some places to give you more information about cancer and kids.
