Why are we gaming for Josh?
We’re gaming for kids with cancer. Childhood cancer isolates kids. West Coast Kids offers programs that connect kids virtually. You can help kids with cancer by “Gaming for Josh.” When Josh was almost 11 years old, when he was diagnosed with cancer, like other kids his age, he connected with friends by hopping on his Xbox and slipping into a world far from reality. In the last months of his life, Josh found moments of laughter, connection and experienced a ‘normal’ teenage life while playing his favourite video games with his friends. You can help kids with cancer by Gaming for Josh! On June 25-27, we call on you and all gamers to play a video game and help kids with cancer in BC. |
