CINCINNATI (FOX19) - âLean toward happyâ is Tanya Kennedy Gillâs motto. Itâs a phrase nurses and doctors at Cincinnati Childrenâs said her late son Christian embodied when he fought pediatric cancer.
Christian died when he was 19 months old and soon after, Tanya started a memorial toy drive in his honor.
Why toys? Well, those toys are what made children like Christian smile and âlean toward happyâ during cancer treatments at Cincinnati Childrenâs.
