Mitch Chepokas was a nine-year-old boy with Osteosarcoma, a gargantuan heart, and a dream to selflessly give to other families fighting their own childhood cancer battles. But Mitch knew he wouldn't be able to give for long, so he made a pinky swear promise with his dad to carry on that spirit of support long after he was gone. And that's exactly what Pinky Swear Foundation has done ever since. On this episode of The Medical Alley Podcast, we talk with?Erica Neubert Campbell, Executive Director of?Pinky Swear Foundation about the organization's dedication to support and giving, her path and purpose, and how you can help. ??
