Several years ago, award-winning filmmakers Steven
Bognar and Julia Reichert were contacted by Dr. Robert Arceci, a prominent
oncologist, about making a film about childhood cancer. At that time,
Dr. Arceci had no idea that Bognar and Reichert had just seen their
own teenage daughter through a year of chemotherapy and radiation.

| “I would never have considered taking on this film
if I had not myself gone through the experience of fighting cancer
with my child. Otherwise, I would see myself as a voyeur, peering
into other people’s heartache. Instead my life gave me
a goal: to help to end the isolation of people fighting cancer.” |
