It’s a great thing to give back after achieving some level of fame. Being a well-known name can help bring attention to causes that people might not know about. Child actor Chalet Lizette Brannan is only fifteen years old but participates in many philanthropic endeavors and helps make the world a better place.
She was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma at the age of 10. After five and a half months of difficult chemotherapy, she recovered. “After that experience, I developed a softness in my heart for cancer survivors, especially kids with cancer,” Brannan said. “I knew I had to do something to give back.” Brannan is currently the new ambassador for Along Comes Hope, an organization that is run by a top notch person and cancer survivor. She volunteers with BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation, visiting children in the hospital. She is also proud to serve as an ambassador for Make-A-Wish, which helps fulfill the wishes of children with serious illnesses. “These organizations are close to my heart as a cancer survivor,” she said. “I know how hard it is to be a kid with cancer, and I want to make it a little easier for some children. The Make-A-Wish program does wonderful things to bring children joy at such a critical point in their lives.”
