“It’s easy to ignore our own needs, but this funding allows us to address our health so we can keep going because if you don’t take care of yourself, things will break down. You’re not able to help your family if you’re struggling physically or mentally.”
- Josh, Josephine & Tilly's dad

For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to introduce you to Sam. Sam helps us shed light on the often-overlooked aspect of childhood cancer treatment: its impact on future fertility. Despite her struggles, Sam remains hopeful about becoming a mother, thanks to support from Lucy's Love Bus.

A childhood cancer diagnosis is a seismic event that sends shockwaves throughout the family. Learn the ways in which siblings and caregivers are affected, and how Lucy's Love Bus ensures that the entire family of a child with cancer receives the support, hope, and healing that they deserve.

Childhood cancer isn't over when treatment ends. Treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and transplants, may have lasting consequences known as late effects, which can significantly impact the lives of childhood cancer survivors.

We are often asked, “But what do you do?” followed by, “So, what are integrative therapies?” This September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness month, we wanted to take a moment to answer these two important questions.

The story of Lucy’s Love Bus starts with Lucy, and her wisdom and lived experience are still at the center of each decision the organization makes today. Read Lucy's story to learn more about Love Bus' innovative, young co-founder.

In the childhood cancer community, there is no competition– only collaboration. We're excited to share a few examples of the new partnerships we have formed to make magic happen!

Even in the face of all the unknowns that came in 2022, our community’s dedication to Love Bus has never faltered. Because of your dedication, we have been able to say “YES!” to each family who turned to Love Bus for support, while also creating two brand new programs in direct response to long unmet needs in the childhood cancer community. 

It’s the holiday season, and we want to help you find the perfect gift for your loved ones! Thanks to our generous partners, we have a specially curated list of promotions to help give you inspiration for everyone on your shopping list, all while benefiting the children and families of Lucy’s Love Bus! It’s a give-win-give! Cheers to the giving season!

The integrative therapies that our girls have been able to access through Love Bus have helped Tilly with the side effects of chemo, but they’ve also helped all of us with the emotional side effects of this long journey that we’re all on– especially Josephine. We are not going anywhere, and it’s an amazing feeling to know that there is an organization and a community behind us that is not going anywhere either. 

Lucy's Love Bus Co-Founder, Beecher Grogan, reflects on a time when she was gifted respite during her daughter's cancer treatment. It's a gift that Love Bus can now pass on to the Love Bus children's parents and caregivers.

"Lucy’s Love Bus provides opportunities for families like us that make my kids feel normal. They help remind us that the best days are still ahead!” - Nar, Mia's mom

For #NCSD2022 we want to highlight the fact that the effects of cancer don’t end when treatment does. Cancer survivors face ongoing, often long-lasting, hardships because of their disease. We also want to spotlight that there is life after cancer, and that is something to celebrate. We'd like to introduce you to Alice, another beautiful friend who has lived through childhood cancer.

Life after cancer can be complicated and chaotic. But it can also be beautiful, meaningful, triumphant, defiant, ordinary, and extraordinary. In honor of National Cancer Survivors Day, coming up on June 5th, we wanted to share the stories of some of our beautiful friends who have lived through childhood cancer.
