One year ago this month, cancer hit WAY too close to home.
One of my closest friends in the neighborhood lost her second battle with breast cancer. At the time she was 45 and had a 4 yr old and 9 yr old.
Cancer SUCKS!
But now there’s a way to fight it…virtually!
Re-Mission 2: Nanobot’s Revenge
Cigna has a new mission: to get HopeLab’s cancer-fighting game app Re-Mission 2: Nanobot’s Revenge in the hands of every young cancer patient in the world…allowing them to actually fight their own cancer on their phones or tablets. The free app is available for Android and iOS (Apple) mobile devices. You can also play it online at www.re-mission2.org.
In this cool game, you work through the entire body systematically fighting cancer. Each level that you beat, opens up a new level. It’s your basic video game, where you’re the good guy fighting against the bad guys…only the bad guys in this one, are real.
Studies have shown that playing video games helps kids to stick to their cancer regimen and builds confidence that they can battle and win. It also teaches them about what’s happening in their body and gives them a way to understand it on a deeper level. They can actually see what’s happening instead of just being told about it.
So check out Re-Mission 2: Nanobot’s Revenge and spread the message of this cancer fighting game app to to every cancer patient and their family so we can help them fight too.
