Many of you may not know this but Olivia calls her cancer "Bob". She didn't like the word cancer when we first told her. So, she and I had a talk - I told her that we need to refer to it as something so why not a person's name, a boy's name because at her age, boys are still gross and can be mean. So, Bob it is!
Olivia received a booklet that encouraged her to talk and draw about cancer. One of the pages of the book was to draw what you think cancer would look like as a monster.
This was the start of Bob becoming a real thing.
My sweet friend and our Director of Marketing & Communications, Anne, made Bob come to life. Bob became a media icon and then he became a punching pillow. Ironically enough, another friend of mind, Crystal, found an actual inflatable punching bag that looked EXACTLY like Bob!
Well, Bob has been punched and thrown and kicked and screamed at many times over the months. So, when you see our #killbob, now you know why! :)
