Hope Nation Radio helps Childhood Cancer families   

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Childhood cancer is a heartbreaking event faced by families every day across America. September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Hope Nation Radio is already well into their ’30 Days of Hope Campaign.’

The campaign started September 01 when Bridgestone Arena, Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, and the 31-story, 490-foot-tall Fifth Third Center skyscraper were lighted up gold on in honor of those survivors, fighters and angels of childhood cancer.

Hope Nation benefit shows

Hope Nation Radio is a charitable internet radio station that goes above and beyond to care for those in need and bring awareness to childhood cancer. Its reach continues to grow and strengthen year by year. They host multiple benefit shows in Nashville, host gatherings with cancer patients and their families, as well as HNR House Parties which provides kids fighting cancer the opportunity to enjoy a concert right in their living room.

“Each day, 42 families in the US receive this devastating news about their child or teen. Nothing is more rewarding than to know that we are making a real difference and giving these children a fighting chance.” – Nile Peaytt, founder and host of Hope Nation Radio.

24-hour music and inspiration

Formed in 2013 by Nile “Big Daddy” Peaytt and Thomas Hammonds, Hope Nation Radio plays a variety of country music, pop, rock, contemporary, Christian and gospel from signed and independent artists.

This is a station anyone can listen to, including the children in the hospital; whether it be for a lengthy stay or to help pass the time while getting treatments.

With several different radio shows on their station including Big Daddy Live, Saturday Night Spotlight, 90’s Country Flashback, Sunday Sessions, and the newest show Music City Rocks, this station has something for everyone.

What was inspired by a talk “Big Daddy” had with 11-year-old Savannah Swandal at her bed side just weeks before passing away, has now evolved into spreading hope, raising awareness and inspiring others to join the fight.

Hope Nation Radio’s ‘Kid of the Month’

“We wanted to connect with these kids from all over the country, bring smiles and inspire people to get involved in their community,” says ‘Big Daddy.’ They feature a ‘Kid of the Month’ where they encourage folks to send get well cards for that child that is going through of struggles and hospital visits. As they inspire schools, communities, businesses and individuals to help raise awareness, the Nashville and country music community has opened their arms and hearts graciously to help spread the word.

Nile is both a friend of mine and real inspiration to me (as a cancer survivor) and the hundreds of kids and their families who are dealing with the challenges of childhood cancer. If you or anyone you know is in that situation, visit Hope Nation Radio’s website, and follow them on Facebook,  Twitter, Instagram  and YouTube.
