About this episode

Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer. In this episode we talk with Eimear Hardiman about her 10 year old daughter Clodagh. At 17 months old Clodagh was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. We talk about how as parents they’ve talked and educated Clodagh on what happened to her when she was young, the valuable support they recently had with our play therapy and at our Survivorship Weekend and the trust and belief they have for the care children with cancer receive in this country.  Please text GOLD to 50300 and donate €4 or visit childhoodcancer.ie for more.
