Did you know that only 4% of all cancer research funds are dedicated to Children’s cancer? When parents Michael Casaus and Naomi Natale learned their then two year old son Sebastián had a rare, aggressive, and incurable Stage IV cancer they used their collective skills to create partnerships and a non-profit organization to raise funds to find treatments and a cure. They also created a community art project, “Sebastián’s Song” that has curated healing songs from around the world.  Michael is The Wilderness Society’s New Mexico state director, environmental advocate, long-term non-profit leader, and W.K. Kellogg Foundation Fellow. Naomi is an award winning community artist activist and Fellow of multiple organizations including TED Global. Join Dr. Karen to hear their family and community story of love, pain, grief, and gratitude.
