	One of the most exciting and successful activities of the Foundation is the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir.

	*About the Foundation* The A Way With Words Foundation (AWWWF) was created for people who are survivors, relatives, or anyone who has been touched by cancer. The primary goals are to provide avenues of expression for cancer survivors, especially after treatment; to generate resources for healing and surviving; to increase awareness of cancer in children; and to raise money for cancer research and for cancer survivors. We also wish to raise awareness about cancer challenges and survivor tools in a way that creates a positive force in our communities. Learn more about the Foundation . . . . The Foundation sponsors the ROCcK (Raising Our Commitment to Cancer Kids) Children's Choir. Read more about the choir . . . . Artist and creator of the new LIFE MAXX™ comic book series Chris Yambar appeared in November, 2007 at a local fundraiser and a national conference to introduce the new concept of a superhero who is a cancer survivor. George Broderick, Jr. assisted in preparing the first edition of the comic book that features LIFE MAXX, CHEMO GIRL and related characters™. Check out the report of the events . . . . Chris Yambar and LIFE MAXX™ both made a live appearance at the March 15, 2008 Pancake Breakfast. See the Calendar and Event Report for more details.
