Survivorship is a Journey, Not a Destination
Today, 80 percent of children diagnosed with cancer will be cured, though many may experience long-term complications from therapy. These late effects can be predicted based on prior treatments and fall into four categories: growth and development, sensory and organ function, hormonal issues, and secondary malignancies. Psychosocial impacts include anxiety, depression, insurability, education, employment, substance abuse, and reduced quality of life.
Walking Miracles has supported 900+ families through this journey since 2012 โ from diagnosis through treatment and into survivorship. Our program exists because recovery is not a finish line; it's a new beginning that deserves just as much care and attention as treatment itself. We serve families across all 55 WV counties and Western Pennsylvania, always at no cost.
Our survivorship program provides personalized treatment summaries and care plans, promoting health through exercise, nutrition, weight management, and lifestyle choices. Walking Miracles supports survivors with tablets that offer:
- Online patient education resources and hotel links
- Preloaded apps, including Zoom, MY Chart, and Uber
- The Reimagine Well platform for chemo sessions
- Wi-Fi, video calling, email, and contact storage
- Medication management and connection to navigators
Recipients get tutorials on tablet features. Our nurse navigator can provide personalized education, connect you to survivorship clinics, and help communicate the need for a Survivorship Plan detailing treatment effects and long-term expectations. She empowers survivors to advocate for themselves with primary care doctors about long-term side effects.
Walking Miracles has helped my family in so many ways with travel costs. I don't know what we would have done without them.
You've Fought Hard to Get Here.
Walking Miracles is with you for what comes next โ at no cost, for as long as you need us. Join the 900+ families we've supported since 2012.
