When cancer is present in the family, home can be a difficult place to be when you’re a kid. That’s why Crescentia Healy-True founded On Belay, an adventure based support system for kids whose families are struggling with cancer. When Crescentia was diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to create a resource for her two daughters where they could form a network of friendship and support even after she was gone. <br /><br />Today, On Belay serves 150 families from towns across New England, giving kids the skills and confidence to not only discover their inner resilience but to let loose, have fun and be a kid!<br /><br />If you would like to find out more about On Belay and the programs they provide, visit their website or follow them on Facebook or Twitter.<br /><br />This video was produced by Lucia Nazzaro and shot/edited by Heather Holloway.
