0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to Coffee Combos. We are at the Avalon Hotel today in Alfredo
0:10.5	Georgia and we have a special guest. Yes, our special guest is a friend that I met
0:18.4	at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta a few years ago and it is Childhood Cancer
0:24.5	Awareness Month for the month of September and we decided to bring her on as a fellow mom
0:32.0	and tell her story. So welcome Anna. Thank you. I'm excited to be here. So exciting. So I
0:41.2	haven't really told Kale like the background story of how we met. So do you remember how we met?
0:48.4	Oh yeah. Yes, you want me to know. Okay. So my son Lake was diagnosed with cancer in 2012
1:01.4	and we actually met Lindsay three years later. In 2015, her family came up to Children's Healthcare
1:09.7	of Atlanta at Eglistan to bring Love Your Melon hats to all the kids that they are.

1:55.6	just through social media and we kept up that way. Well, so I remember setting up the visit to
2:04.4	Children's and I was kind of hesitant to do it because I take everything so like too hard. So when
2:15.1	I go and do those visits, I have to have like a detox almost from it for like six months before
2:21.2	I can go back because it's so hard on you. It pulls on your heartstrings. Yeah, I get so emotionally
2:26.2	invested in those kids. And then I want to like follow their stories and see where they are.
2:32.0	And then to see if something like happens to one of them, it makes me feel devastated. So
2:40.7	that's a hard thing. I love giving back and like visiting the children because I know they love
