Inspired by a 9-year-old cancer patient, a Geisinger pediatrician founded
an all-volunteer organization which has dolled out nearly $100,000 over the past two years to the families of children battling cancer.
“ThinkBIG came about, just recognizing there wasn’t any financial support for pediatric cancer patients in our area…who are treated at Geisinger,” Dr. Colby Wesner, ThinkBIG founder, said. “Other hospital systems have funds that help support those patient populations. There was a void for the families that go through this in our region. We wanted to help fill that void.”
