Little Falls resident, Jessica Myers, quit her job to help care for her three-year-old nephew, Liam, who was diagnosed with cancer eight weeks after he was born. Liam passed away August 17, 2023, but Jessica’s work continues with the non-profit, Liam’s Warriors, the charity that she created in her nephew’s memory, and the Red Carpet Warriors, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness of childhood cancer. According to Jessica, “I never realized how bad childhood cancer was until I went to the oncology floor of the hospital. You see the commercials, but until you witness it for yourself, you don’t realize it.” She shares what it’s like to watch a child battle cancer, and how she works to raise awareness of this insidious disease.
Also in this episode, Dr. Gian Varbaro, the chief medical officer of Bergen New Bridge Medical Center discusses ways to achieve and maintain optimal health.
