EP 143 On the Record: National Pediatric Cancer Foundation

“There’s not enough info and research done for our children…it’s important for us to let our children shine… they are the future.” 

 Anthony and Melanie DiTinno had no idea that their world would completely flip upside down in the spring of 2021 when their youngest son, Vincent, suddenly started having intense night-terrors every time he tried to go to sleep. 

 After being diagnosed with a common “ear infection,” by his pediatrician, the couple knew in their hearts that they had to dig deeper, later discovering that the MRI stat that they ordered revealed something much more serious. Vincent was diagnosed with Stage II Rhabdomysarcoma, a type of cancer that mainly effects children.  

 While the DiTinno’s had to completely put their lives as they knew it on hold to focus on their little boy’s treatment process, they never lost faith or hope, as Vincent continued to show unwavering strength throughout his entire ten months of frontline chemotherapy and six weeks of proton therapy radiation. Today, the adorable boy is in remission, and the DiTinnos were inspired to create a KidStrong race as a way to advocate for families touched with pediatric cancer.  

 Join me as I am touched by this inspiring family’s story, and learn more about Pediatric Cancer from Dave Frazer, CEO of the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
