Thank you Ray, and 13 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: thank you Nick for having me on today to talk 14 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 3: a little bit about Kel's Angel. So, yes, Cal exactly 15 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: was a very very healthy boy, phenomenal baseball player. Nobody 16 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: could throw from center like him all the way to 17 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: home plate. Spot On made the All Stars at eight 18 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: in the morning, and by three thirty in the afternoon, 19 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 3: we found out that he had a very aggressive form 20 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 3: of leukemia. 21 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: So here's a healthy twelve year old kid, right, And 22 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: the last thing a parent ever wants to hear is 23 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: your son, your daughter has cancer. And so you hear 24 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: the words, what immediately happens after that you go into 25 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: I suppose crisis mode. I know moms work a little 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: bit better in this instances than dad's. 27 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: What's the next step? 28 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's definitely crisis mode, like you said. 29 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: And thankfully we live in a town, you know, right 30 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 3: in our backyard, Chicago, having some of the best doctors 31 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 3: in the world. And you know, immediately we were actually 32 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 3: given a diagnosis of what you hear on the media, 33 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: a very treatable form of leukemia, the childhood form, and 34 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 3: unfortunately he was later diagnosed then with a more aggressive form, 35 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: which was a dealt form in a child and unfortunately, 36 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: Ray I can probably count on one hand how many 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: survivors we see who have that type of. 38 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: Which is amazing because the cure all rates for kids 39 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: with cancer of skyrocketed with the help of you know, 40 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: you could talk Saint Jude in Memphis, you can talk 41 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Glorry here in Chicago, and we've made such tremendous strides 42 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: with especially childhood cancers, but not in this instance. 43 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: So, without being too personal, how do you, how do 44 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: you help the little guy through? 45 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: How do you how do you what's the next process 46 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: for somebody's going through this right now and they don't 47 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: know what to do. So, how did you set him 48 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: up to say, you know what, we're going to do 49 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: everything we can. 50 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: You're going to be okay. 51 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: And we know that the end result wasn't what anybody wanted, 52 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: but how do you set the family up for that? Well? 53 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: I think the first thing I always say to families 54 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: is actually stay off the internet, because we did not, 55 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: and we saw statistics coming out of Europe actually that 56 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: were much better than what they're coming out of here, 57 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: and that's a whole other segment for us. But regardless, 58 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 3: you know, you never ever can fathom that you're going 59 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: to lose your child. 60 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 4: That was never going to happen. 61 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: We were going to be the ones in the medical 62 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: books showing Kel's picture of what exactly, you know, a 63 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: success story is, and unfortunately that wasn't the case, and 64 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: we didn't though seriously, we probably didn't think that it 65 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: was even going to be an option until probably about 66 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: thirteen months in of the fourteen month journey, that this 67 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 3: is something very real that we may we may lose him. 68 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: So we take the story. It's a sad one and 69 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately it happens. I'm sorry that it happened 70 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: to you and your family. But you've done so much 71 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: good out of this organization. Organization. I knew of the story, 72 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: and I started hearing about Cal's Angels, and it grew 73 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: and grew and grew. And if you drive around the 74 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: Fox Valley area, you see your signs all over the place. 75 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: Tell me about the gallon that's coming up. 76 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 4: You said something else that I wanted to mention, but 77 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 4: we'll get back to that. So the gale is coming up. 78 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: That is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we 79 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: in the last several years we've raised over one point 80 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: three million. We have close to one thousand guests out 81 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: at Drury Lane in oak Brook, and we would love 82 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: everyone's support, you know, truthfully, it's a wonderful event, very inspiring. 83 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: You'll hear from a couple families. 84 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: We've got some really big news to share this year 85 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: from our commitment of four million dollar commitment that we 86 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: did with Luri's ray. 87 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure you probably. 88 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: Don't know this that what Cal had no and in 89 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: the United States could treat if he was ever to relapse. 90 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: We knew that out of the gate, and that's exactly 91 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: where we ended up. Fast forward twenty years later, and 92 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: there are only five places in the nation, and it 93 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: was Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, and Seattle until this last 94 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: year we made a four million dollar commitment and now 95 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: Lurie's is on the map as well that they can 96 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 3: treat the most advanced leukemias. So there was nothing right 97 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: from Philadelphia to Seattle. So truthfully, many of our families 98 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 3: would have to go to Philadelphia Seattle if they could 99 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: afford it. 100 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 4: Well, that's a whole another layer. 101 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 3: You have to be able to afford to uproot your family, 102 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 3: which is terrible. And so now we're able to do 103 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 3: it right here in our backyard. So it's called the 104 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: Cal's Angels Advanced Leukemia Clinical and Research Program. So absolutely 105 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 3: our proudest moment and out of that story, we signed 106 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: that contract the end of twenty twenty four, had the 107 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: ribbon cutting in October of this last year. But there's 108 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: a very, very exciting story that's come from that and 109 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: we're going to be able to share that on stage 110 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: at the gala. 111 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: I like that. 112 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: The gala is coming up February twenty eighth, is in 113 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: Jory Lane at Oakbrook. Talk about you mentioned when a 114 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: kid gets cancer, if there's kids involved in where they're 115 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: siblings to cal at this time. 116 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: Yes, there were yes, several. 117 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: When you go through that, they don't know what's going on. 118 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: Sometimes all the activity that surrounds the sick child makes 119 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: the other child feel excluded, and that's a weird feeling. 120 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: But I can totally see that it's okay for them 121 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: to go through that. 122 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: But you mentioned something else. 123 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: If they can make the trip because the ability to pay, yes, 124 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: it's insane. It's you know, we know the medical industrial 125 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: complex in which we live. To try to pay for 126 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, it's almost impossible. I've worked with 127 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: the Saint Jude Pediatric Brain Tumor or Saint Germaine. I've 128 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: got cold medicine belonging to me. I work with Saint 129 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: Jude for years, and then with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, 130 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: and you watch all of this happen. So people like 131 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: you that could come out and put something together where 132 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: you've got a respite of people that don't necessarily have 133 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: to worry about that cost and they can. That's a 134 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: weight lifted off shoulders that many people can understand. Right. 135 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 3: No, well, nobody budgets for cancer, let's be honest. But 136 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 3: I do want to touch on the point that you 137 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: said about the siblings. So the siblings, truly, for all 138 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: of us at Kail's Angels, we believe are the kind 139 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: of the unsung heroes. They are the ones being shuffled 140 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: from neighbors and grandmas if they even have, you know, 141 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: relationships of people that they can lean on. Here, they're 142 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 3: the ones going to bed without the good night kisses 143 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 3: and the hugs from mom, and their normal has been 144 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 3: ripped out, you know, with a rug underneath them, and 145 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: you know they're upside down. They're the ones that we 146 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: truly never want to forget, and we don't At Kill's Angels, 147 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: I'm very proud to tell you that every program we 148 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: have includes the siblings. And I can absolutely say, without 149 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: a doubt we are the only organization in the Midwest. 150 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 3: I can't verify in the country, but definitely in the 151 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 3: Midwest where we every single program we have include the siblings, 152 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: even our wish program. If this child gets diagnosed with cancer, 153 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: the sibling gets a wish as well. 154 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: Tell me about the GABA. How do we come, what's 155 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: a cost?

And we've moved done because we've 207 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,119 Speaker 3: cured cancer. But we can't do it without starting that conversation. 208 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: And I'm so thankful for you today. We're starting that 209 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: educating your listeners. If I can just throw in really quick, 210 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: I'm not even sure if you're aware of this, but 211 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: only four percent of government funding goes towards the kids. Horrible, 212 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: And this has been going on for decades. It's not 213 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: anything new. 214 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: You know. 215 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: We've had four new drugs since nineteen eighty. We have 216 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: hundreds for adults. We have only twenty for children, and 217 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: each child, depending on their diagnosis, really only has about 218 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 3: six or eight within that twenty that they are able 219 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: to use, and if they relapse, those are off the table. 220 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: We've already come in with the best of the best 221 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: and it didn't work. So we're losing our children not 222 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 3: because of the cancer. We're losing our children because we 223 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: don't have the resources to cure them. 224 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 4: So listeners, please. 225 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: If I can just ask of anything, if it's not 226 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: a matter of supporting Kel's Angels, just support pediatric cancer 227 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 3: as a whole. 228 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: We need to end this madness. 229 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: I'll tell you. 230 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes there's a debate amongst the moms and dads. Well, 231 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: you always will hear a mom say well, as a 232 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: mom and dads are kind of like you'll get an 233 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: eye roll. But there's no better advocate than a mother 234 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: who's gone through a stepmom that's gone through what you've 235 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: gone through.
