Nova’s Day at the Beach: A Wish Fulfilled

This is Bobbie, Nova’s mom. We met on a Pineoblastoma support site, both of us there because our daughters faced the same heartbreaking diagnosis. Out of that we shared comfort and hope and tears, and a bond grew that became genuine love for each other’s child. Nova is family to me, and Bobbie is my friend for life.

In the video you’ll see what a sweet, kindhearted, loving young lady Nova was. A life-changer, and a true leader. And through her mom, Bobbie, she still guides incredible work for pediatric cancer.
