On July 6, 2008, the lives of Dena and Billy Sherwood changed forever when their then 13-month-old son, Billy Jr., was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a very aggressive cancer of the sympathetic nervous system that most commonly occurs in infants and children under the age of five. In August of 2009, in the midst of their son's aggressive treatment, Dena and Billy founded Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation
No Retreat, No Surrender - A Story of Faith, Love and Cancer was written by Founder Dena Sherwood to raise awareness for neuroblastoma, to advocate for the children who are fighting this disease, to bring hope to families who are suffering and to honor the precious angels who have been separated from their families too soon. Proceeds from this book will go directly towards fighting childhood cancer!
