Welcome to Elevate Voices, a platform dedicated to the unique and powerful stories of those whose lives have been profoundly impacted by childhood cancer.

   Here, survivors, their families, and those mourning a loved one come together, foster awareness, and drive advocacy and fundraising efforts.  

    Clint and Amber Nelson share the powerful story of their son Chandler. Showcase their faith, resilience, & finding purpose after losing him to alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma at age 20 on a recent podcast, ‘Love in the Hard.’ Discover why they have chosen to support Elevate’s mission to improve and save lives and more about their incredible son, Chandler who positively impacted those who were fortunate to have met him.

   Justin Spoon is the son of Robyn & Joel Spoon, founders of Elevate Childhood Cancer Research and Advocacy in the fall of 2023, shortly after their young adult son, Justin, passed away in March of that year due to a critical lack of treatments for childhood cancers—particularly the one he had been diagnosed with just a short time before. 

  Robyn reflects on the day Justin was diagnosed—a moment that changed the course of all their lives & what followed. What began as a devastating diagnosis eventually became the catalyst for Elevate. Learn more by reading Justin’s Elevate Voice HERE.
