Fun Stuff 4 Kidz Coping With Childhood Cancer

Songs Of Love

Songs Of Love creates personalized songs for children who are coping with childhood cancer and other tough medical challenges. And...they are FREE!

Songs Of Love are written from scratch by a talented, professional singer-songwriter and delivered on CD.

A fun, personalized song written just for them is sure to put a smile on the face of a child coping with cancer, another life threatening illness or lifetime disability.

I know that Kaden (our 4 year old who was diagnosed with leukemia) sure had a huge smile on his face the first time he listened to his song. His favorite thing to do when listening to his song is to get down on the floor and break dance to it!
