Kids Kicking Cancer was founded in 1999 by a local father and a black belt, Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg (whom the kids call Rabbi G) who lost his daughter to leukemia at the age of 2. Headquartered in Southfield Michigan, they serve over 650 children, ages 3 and up into their twenties suffering from all types of pediatric illness in the metropolitan Detroit area. With programs across the United States and in 4 countries, they are teaching thousands of children techniques to control the pain, stress, anxiety, and fear associated with their disease and treatment procedures. Rabbi G encourages you to participate and help empower these kids to be victors, not victims to their disease. Go to www.kidskickingcancer.org to learn more about Kids Kicking Cancer.
