When Nicole de Lara Puente, CEO of the Live Like Bella Childhood Cancer Foundation, joined our show, she brought more than her story; she brought the enduring spirit of Bella, a young girl whose courage in the face of cancer sparked a global crusade. Nicole's transition from various leadership roles in major media outlets across Europe and Latin America to leading an organization that has raised over $35 million for childhood cancer research is a poignant reminder of the impact one life can have. This episode is a tribute to the unyielding support of communities and the transformative power of storytelling in the quest to provide hope to families grappling with this harrowing diagnosis.
In our heartfelt discussion, we confront the stark realities that children with cancer and their families must endure, emphasizing the necessity for research tailored to their unique needs. The Live Like Bella foundation's efforts have been instrumental in propelling forward clinical trials and research funding in Florida, highlighting a pressing issue: the critical lack of advanced treatment options for our youngest warriors. Nicole's call to action is not just a plea but a rallying cry for us all to join forces in the battle against pediatric cancer.
We also peel back the curtain on the intricacies of nonprofit fundraising, where Nicole sheds light on the importance of diversifying income streams and the profound influence of donor engagement. This episode is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in philanthropy, offering strategic advice on sustaining charitable efforts and the significance of fostering connections beyond the dollars raised. Nicole's unwavering dedication to the cause and her insights on rallying community support make this conversation a masterclass in driving change for a deeply personal mission.
