Why Pediatric Cancer Deserves Our Attention
Inspired by the life and legacy of Briana McBride
Briana McBride’s life, though far too brief, was filled with light, courage, and resilience beyond her years. Like so many children facing pediatric cancer, she showed a strength that inspired everyone around her — and a spirit that continues to move this mission forward.
While medical advances have improved survival rates, the journey does not end when treatment does. Pediatric cancer survivors often face lifelong challenges, including disruptions to education, emotional healing, and access to opportunity.
​
Souls of Butterflies exists because survival should not be the finish line. In Briana’s honor, we work to ensure that every survivor has the support, confidence, and opportunity to rise beyond adversity and pursue their dreams.
Briana’s story is one of many — and the reason this work matters.
