Did you see this? 👀

The American Academy of Pediatrics just updated their recess guidelines for the first time in 13 years. Their finding? Play isn't a privilege, it's powerful medicine for kids.

And honestly? The same is true for us.

At ADY Life Center, we talk about joy like it's a prescription because for cancer survivors and people living with chronic illness, it IS. Joy heals. Play heals. Connection heals.

We spend so much energy fighting illness... but when did we stop giving ourselves permission to PLAY?

You don't have to earn joy. You deserve it right now, exactly as you are. 💛

And I’m not done yet.

What began as a wish to be in a parade became a reminder that life is meant to be celebrated—especially when it’s hard.

This is the story behind Ain’t Dead Yet: joy, resilience, and choosing to live out loud.
