This is a More Than Medicine Installment
A little over a week ago, we welcomed Friends of the Ukandu Family from near and far to the Ukandu Family Reunion. Some have been part of Ukandu for decades. Others are just beginning to discover what this community can mean. There were familiar faces, first-time visitors, and people whose paths might never have crossed were it not for a childhood cancer diagnosis.
It was loud. It was joyful. It was wonderfully, beautifully human.
And it was exactly what The Loft was built for.
多年前，Emily Perl Kingsley 写下了 Welcome to Holland，一篇关于原本为一段旅程做准备、却发现人生把你带到了完全不同地方的文章。你计划去意大利。你想象过它是什么样子。你为之做了准备。你设想过要去的地方、会有的经历。然后飞机降落在别处。
多年来，每当我坐在那些因儿童癌症而人生被改变的家庭身旁时，我都会想起这个比喻。
As I walked through The Loft surrounded by families, friends, partners, supporters, and people who have helped imagine this place into existence, I was struck by something one of our parents, Julia Thompson, said in remarks to commemorate the day:
The audacity.
The audacity of Ukandu to believe families affected by childhood cancer deserve something this extraordinary.
This art and weaving session is open to all ages, no experience needed, just space to create, relax, and connect side-by-side with others in the Loft community.
