As a family, our biggest concern was our son's life after his diagnosis. Having just turned two, you would expect a year of parks, sports, & playing with friends. The day he was diagnosed, all of those seemed lost. The fear, anxiety, & pain were so much for our brave little
Odin
.
We were overjoyed to hear about
Kids Kicking Cancer
. From the first class, the warmth & caring of the Senseis made us feel right at home and among friends. Our son came home from class obsessed with the people & techniques he learned. The most impactful technique was the deep breathing exercise
Ninja Needle
.
Needles had become an ordeal lasting 20-30 minutes of intense fear, pain, & tears. We welcomed the opportunity to try this new technique. For the first time since diagnosis, there were no tears after the prick. It was the best needle in months & changed how my son related to needles, nurses, and this entire experience. We now witness our son working with his breath, emotion, light, & power to discover a new sense of agency.
He is no longer a victim of these procedures but an active player in the delivery of his life-saving medicine.
We are very grateful to our
Kids Kicking Cancer
family & we wish to express a heartfelt thank you. We proudly join you in the collective purpose of
teaching the world
.
