Chemo Duck

gmhI’ve been work­ing on a web­site re-design for Gabe’s My Heart/Chemo Duck Works.

Chemo Duck Works is a stan­dard­ized, com­pre­hen­sive edu­ca­tion sys­tem for chil­dren and fam­i­lies cop­ing with child­hood cancer.

Here’s part Gabe & Chemo Duck’s story:
Just after his first birth­day, Gabe’s mother, Lu Sipos, made the very first Chemo Duck for him. She thought he could use a com­pan­ion to take to the hos­pi­tal, one with whom he could share his jour­ney back to health. Chemo Duck turned out to be a best friend and much, much more!

Together, Gabe and Chemo Duck learned all about liv­ing with can­cer and explored what can­cer treat­ment means to a small boy and his Duck pal. Gabe learned not to be afraid as he took lov­ing care of his Chemo Duck and treated him for can­cer of the beak. Gabe admin­is­tered a series of aggres­sive beak brush­ings and sev­eral rounds of Play Dough Chemo to his sick play­mate.
