I was so happy when I saw the drawings them made for me. FFM: Is it just one cancer non-profit agency or several? Can you provide the names? KS: Until now I have only worked with MAME Association programs, but I am open to becoming involved with other activities that cherish life and health FFM: Can you share a couple of stories about some kids you have worked with through your cancer advocacy? KS: The kids we support are all brave and are examples to us. In spite of all of their suffering and the medical treatments, they simple cherish life more than we do. We take things for granted, complain that we don’t have the latest gadget or car. We kind of forget what life is all about and that love and support for others is most important. I have been blessed with two children who won the battle against cancer, who are now healthy and studying for careers of their own Their battles are examples for me and for everybody. The first Kangoo Jumps for Life was so successful that we used the funds to send a seven year old boy, Albert, suffering from leukemia to have surgery in Germany. Today he is strong and healthy and going to school like a normal child. FFM: You have the opportunity to travel to so many wonderful places.
