#WordsFromPaulNewman: In honor of SeriousFun founder Paul Newman's 100th birthday year, we'll be sharing some words of wisdom from Paul each month. Navigating the fear and isolation that often comes with serious illness can be tough, especially for kids. Paul understood this and created a place where children with complex medical needs could be simply be kids: kids first, patients second. Learn more and get involved at seriousfun.org.
