Childhood cancer survivors to gather for reunion

Kids With Courage III, a reunion of more than 200 childhood cancer survivors who have been treated or are being treated at UW Children’s Hospital by the Division of Pediatric Oncology, will be Saturday, Nov. 29, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., at the Monona Terrace convention center, 1 John Nolen Drive. Including family members of survivors, approximately 975 people are expected.

The reunion is an opportunity for bonding for 200 families and serves as a local and national platform to raise awareness of needed improvements in research, treatment, health-care delivery and social service support required by these families. It also enables the community to support important efforts that influence programs for children with cancer.
