I have come to the conclusion that I when I started practicing yoga, I was drawn to my mat simply because it made me feel good and it was a great workout. After a few years of practicing yoga, I began to get interested in teaching yoga. What I did not expect from yoga were the life and career changes, as well as the personal growth it would provide me. I completed my 200 RYT in 2012, and began teaching after work at a local yoga studio. In 2013, I gained the Mind/Body Intervention Specialist position with the Integrative Medicine Program at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. As a mind/body specialist, I teach mind and body relaxation techniques to breast cancer patients to decrease the side effects of radiotherapy.
As a response to families’ request for integrative therapies that didn’t involve needles, the Little Yogis program was created in the summer of 2014. Families expressed feelings of helplessness as they tried to comfort their child while in pain or in discomfort. In collaboration with families at MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital, the Division of Pediatrics and MD Anderson’s Integrative Medicine Program launched Little Yogis to address the needs of our children. Little Yogis is a special yoga program for pediatric cancer patients undergoing aggressive treatment at MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital. Our goal is to alleviate stress and physical pain, improve quality of life and make cancer treatment more bearable for patients and their families.
My name is Colette and my son, Detric was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma in 2010, when he was 7 years old. He is now 4 years into remission but still suffers from the side effects of chemo and radiation. After his diagnosis I realized many people know Breast Cancer Awareness has a pink ribbon but not many know Childhood Cancer Awareness has a gold ribbon. So, I became a Childhood Cancer Awareness Advocate and go to businesses, schools, and groups to educate people about Childhood Cancers, the signs, and the need for money for research.
While Detric did chemo for the first year at Seattle Children's Hospital, we stayed at the Ronald McDonald House. I now do "extreme couponing" to provide items to donate to the Ronald McDonald House, as well as raise money for Childhood Cancer Research and the Uncompensated Care Fund at Seattle Children’s Hospital. The Uncompensated Care Fund ensures every child gets world class treatment, even if the family can't pay or insurance doesn't cover the costs.
Detric has been an Honored Hero for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and we go to schools to help raise money for research. I also volunteer with the American Cancer Society as an advocate for more money for research. My son is my hero and it has become my life's mission to advocate for more funding for research, getting treatments for every child with cancer, and to help find a cure!
My name is Jess and I'm the founder of Headbands of Hope. For every headband purchased, one is given to a girl with cancer and $1 is donated to childhood cancer research.
When I was in college, I interned at the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I saw so many girls lose their hair to chemotherapy, and they loved to wear headbands after hair loss. One girl in particular, a four-year-old named Renee, wished to go to Disney World to meet Sleeping Beauty. About a week before her trip to Disney World, her condition worsened, causing her doctors to advise her to return home.
I came to her house dressed as sleeping beauty and made her wish come true. When her mom called me a week later to tell me Renee had passed, she said she was at peace with her daughter's passing because she knew she got everything she ever wanted: to meet sleeping beauty.
It was at that point that everything changed for me. I wanted to help girls like Renee all over the world and I saw that headbands would be the perfect way to do that.
Therefore I founded HeadbandsOfHope.org during my junior year, in April 2012. Since then, we've donated to almost every children's hospital in the US and even some hospitals internationally.
