Hedley Lewis reminds about an unmet need – Leadership in Childhood Cancer Advocacy

“Leading in the childhood cancer space is not just about strategy and decision-making—it’s about cutting through the noise to focus on what truly matters.

Each day, I’m reminded that despite the numerous voices, demands, and challenges, our mission remains unwavering: to ensure that

NO child, teenagers or family faces cancer alone.” – Hedley Lewis, CEO of Childhood Cancer International.

“Navigating the Noise” – is at the center of a heartfelt message about leadership in childhood cancer advocacy Hedley Lewis shared on his LinekdIn page.

“I’ve learned that leadership in this space requires:

Filtering out distractions– Not every trend or opinion aligns with our mission, so staying focused is essential.
Listening to the right voices – The voices of children, teenagers, parents, survivors, and healthcare professionals must be our primary concern.
Balancing head and heart – Every decision carries emotional weight, it must be considered holistically

There will always be noise, but true leadership involves discerning what to tune out and what to amplify.

For me, that means elevating the voices that truly matter, making decisions that serve our families best, and ensuring CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation remains a pillar of support, advocacy, and hope.”
