Caribbean Cruise Line Charities And The Children Battling Cancer Hope On Water Program

Online, June 15, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Caribbean Cruise Line Philanthropy is an important aspect of everything that Caribbean Cruise Line represents as a company. And in keeping with Caribbean Cruise Line commitment to services, they are pleased to share some information about just one of the many services Caribbean Cruise line is committed to in their community: the Hope on Water Campaign.

The Children Battling Cancer foundation and Caribbean Cruise Line are partnering to give the families of pediatric cancer a little bit of Hope on Water.

Through the Hope on Water program and the generosity of the Caribbean Cruise Line, each month Children Battling Cancer sends a pediatric oncology family on a much needed all expense paid vacation to the Bahamas aboard this fun ship.

This is something Children Battling Cancer knows a little something about. This foundation was founded by a family who experienced the effects of childhood cancer first hand when their own 9 year old son was diagnosed with an aggressive form of blood cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Two years of chemotherapy often lead to low blood counts, which in turn lead isolation and the inability to attend everyday events.

As families facing the leading cause of death in children, a cruise to the Bahamas is a lot more than a family vacation. It is a time to build some fun memories as a family during a very difficult time.

Children Battling Cancer realizes the entire family suffers when there is a diagnosis of this magnitude so the Hope on Water program makes every effort to ensure that the siblings and parents are also treated to some much needed fun and relaxation while aboard the ship.

Each Hope on Water experience is tailored to meet the needs of the family sailing according to the size of the family and the age of the patient and their siblings. Children Battling Cancer and Caribbean Cruise Line are proud of their level of services to families as well as to children battling cancer and look forward to a long and successful program.

Caribbean Cruise Line and The Children Battling Cancer Foundation have been offering these all expense paid cruises since late 2009 and look forward to a long and meaningful partnership moving forwards.

Children Battling Cancer Childhood Cancer Awareness

The goal of Children Battling Cancer and Caribbean Cruise Line goes beyond the Hope on Water campaign. It is also to raise awareness of the incidence and devastation of childhood cancer in America's children. By raising awareness that childhood cancer is the number one disease killer of America's children, Children Battling Cancer and Caribbean Cruise Line hope to raise awareness for the families that find themselves in this battle.

Children Battling Cancer and Caribbean Cruise Line seek to make the gold ribbon, which signifies childhood cancer as well known universally as the pink ribbon which symbolizes breast cancer. In doing so we aim to open eyes and hearts to the children battling this disease and the families left in the wake of its devastation.
