Hopelab created a unique way for children to battle cancer, with a video game! I first heard of hopelab from former guest and friend Ryan Hamner who wrote some music for the game. Robin Avant talks about the game Re-mission and how it helps kids and their siblings understand their battle against cancer, and it's free! Find out more about Hope Lab and how technology is helping kids battle cancer.

12.17.10 - Lisa Bernhard of i2y.com
Talking more stupid cancer with breast cancer survivor and the co-producer/co-host of The Stupid Cancer Show & VP of marketing and media for i2y.com Lisa Bernhard. When Lisa was diagnosed 15 years ago there wasn't a young adult cancer movement like there is now. Lisa met Stupid Cancer founder Matt Zachary via a friend and the rest as they say, is history. Lisa Bernhard uses her background as a nationally known entertainment journalist to find inspiring guests for The Stupid Cancer Show.

11.19.10 Martin of Laptopsoflove.com
If you had an old laptop or desktop computer you weren"t using at home would you just get rid of it, or donate it to an organization that refurbishes it for children going through chemo? That is what Martin does. He will take your old computer and personalize it specifically for a child and that is why his organization is called Laptops Of Love.
