“Camp provides a place where kids with cancer and their siblings can take part in ‘normal’ activities in a supportive environment that gives them back that self-esteem. By sharing this experience with other kids who are facing or have faced the same impact of cancer, they realize that they are not alone.”
- Dr. Stuart Siegel
Founder, Camp Ronald McDonald
“As a mom, I wanted to protect my son when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Then I realized that through isolating him, I made him feel alone in his situation. Going to Camp made us all realize that we are not alone and that there is hope. Camp was a memorable experience for all of us.”
- Penny, Camp Mom
“Starting at diagnosis, you spend time teaching your patients all the things they cannot do. At Camp, you spend time teaching them what they can do. They come back from Camp a changed child.
- Fran Wiley, R.N.
