<p>布列塔尼·史密斯在 2024 年成为 Aflac 代理人之前，开始了一项个人使命，支持面临儿童脑癌的家庭。</p>
<p>对于布列塔尼和她的丈夫布兰登来说，这种动力始于 2017 年 8 月，当他们得知他们的儿子甘纳（Gunner）患有一种名为高等级多形性胶质瘤的危及生命的脑肿瘤。经过六小时的紧急脑部手术、六周的每日质子放疗和 48 周的化疗，甘纳在 2018 年万圣节前完成了治疗。他在接下来的几个月里没有癌症，直到次年 2 月。经过两次手术后，甘纳的癌症在近一年内保持稳定，直到 2020 年 5 月发现癌症再次扩散。一年后，经过多次治疗，甘纳在家中与他深爱的父母和姐妹们在一起去世。</p>
<p>为了纪念甘纳，布列塔尼和布兰登成立了全心甘纳基金会，为其他面临儿童脑癌的儿童和家庭提供经济支持。该基金会以甘纳在与脑癌斗争时的座右铭 “全心全意” 命名，服务于全国范围内被诊断为脑肿瘤的儿童家庭。</p>
<p>“我们知道，当你被告知你的孩子得了癌症的那一刻——这瞬间改变了整个家庭，” 布列塔尼说。“通过全心甘纳基金会，我们希望能为面临儿童脑癌的家庭提供安慰，并尽可能减轻经济负担，以便家庭能够将时间和精力放在最重要的事情上：让他们的孩子康复。”</p>
<p><em>了解更多关于全心甘纳的信息，请访问</em> <em>allheartgunner.com</em> _。</p>
<p>在全心甘纳基金会启动后，布列塔尼了解到 Aflac 及其使命与她自己基金会的核心理念非常相似——在生活中最具挑战性的时刻为个人提供经济支持。她探索了加入 Aflac 的机会，并很快发现这是一种自然的契合。在一次销售团队会议的演示中，她了解到 My Special Aflac Duck®项目以及 Aflac 长期以来对面临儿童癌症和血液疾病（如镰状细胞病）的承诺。</p>
<p>“在甘纳勇敢走过的近四年里，我们并不知道 Aflac 在儿童癌症和血液疾病领域所产生的深远影响，” 布列塔尼说。“我已经熟悉癌症保险——并且知道依赖儿童的保障是免费的——但我很快了解到 Aflac 的承诺和关怀程度更为深远。”</p>
<p>30 多年来，Aflac 的员工、独立代理人和 Aflac 基金会已向亚特兰大儿童医疗中心的 Aflac 癌症和血液疾病中心捐赠了近 2 亿美元，以支持儿童癌症和血液疾病的研究和治疗。该使命的一个重要组成部分是_My Special Aflac Duck_，这是一种机器人伴侣，旨在为患有癌症或镰状细胞病的儿童提供安慰。它还帮助这些儿童与父母、兄弟姐妹、医疗专业人员和其他护理人员进行沟通。</p>
<p>现在，接受全心甘纳基金会支持的家庭也将收到他们自己的_My Special Aflac Duck_，以帮助支持他们的孩子度过癌症之旅。</p>
<p>“在任何阶段，面对癌症或镰状细胞的诊断、治疗和生活都可能是具有挑战性的，因此我们在 2018 年推出了_My Special Aflac Duck_，以帮助这些患者感受到他们并不孤单。自那时以来，我们已经交付了超过 41,000 只鸭子，以帮助为这些患者及其家庭提供安慰，” Aflac 企业社会责任高级经理巴菲·斯温哈特（Buffy Swinehart）说。“我们非常感谢像全心甘纳这样的组织，帮助那些面临儿童癌症和血液疾病的人，我们很高兴能够为他们支持的儿童和家庭提供一个可爱的伴侣。”</p>
<p>与_My Special Aflac Duck_及其配件一起提供的是一系列资源，包括关于_My Special Aflac Duck_及其应用程序的所有功能和特点的信息；用于冥想、沟通、医疗游戏等的促进卡；旨在游戏、建立关系、赋权和正念的可打印活动——帮助在繁忙或具有挑战性的环境中提供分散注意力的方式；互动使用案例指南，以探索_My Special Aflac Duck_在不同环境中的使用；常见问题解答；以及额外支持。</p>
<p>这个安慰伴侣对 3 岁及以上的癌症或镰状细胞病儿童免费提供。</p>

<p>布列塔尼·史密斯（Brittany Smith）受到已故儿子甘纳（Gunner）与脑癌斗争的启发，创立了全心甘纳基金会（All Heart Gunner Foundation），以支持面临儿童脑癌的家庭。她后来加入了 Aflac，与其在困难时期提供财务支持的使命相一致。Aflac 的 “我的特别 Aflac 鸭子”（My Special Aflac Duck）项目为患有癌症或镰状细胞病的儿童提供安慰，补充了基金会的努力。布列塔尼的故事突显了她的基金会与 Aflac 在儿童癌症支持方面的承诺之间的协同作用</p>

</div><p>Brittany Smith, before she became an Aflac agent in 2024, embarked on a personal mission to support families facing pediatric brain cancer.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>布列塔尼·史密斯在 2024 年成为 Aflac 代理人之前，开始了一项个人使命，支持面临儿童脑癌的家庭。</p>
</div><p>For Brittany and her husband, Brandon, that drive started when they learned their son, Gunner, had a life-threatening brain tumor known as a high-grade multiform glioma in August 2017. After a six-hour emergency brain surgery, six weeks of daily proton radiation and 48 weeks of chemotherapy, Gunner finished treatments just in time for Halloween 2018. He was cancer free until the following February. After two more surgeries, Gunner's cancer remained stable for nearly a year before discovering it had spread again in May 2020. A year and multiple treatments later, Gunner passed away at home with his loving parents and sisters by his side.</p>

</div><p>In Gunner's memory, Brittany and Brandon established the All Heart Gunner Foundation to provide financial support to other children and families facing pediatric brain cancer. Named for Gunner's mantra for fighting his brain cancer with an &#34;All Heart&#34; mentality, the foundation serves families across the country whose children have been diagnosed with a brain tumor.</p>

</div><p>&#34;We know that moment when you're told your child has cancer - it changes the entire family in an instant,&#34; said Brittany. &#34;Through the All Heart Gunner Foundation, we want to be a comfort for families faced with pediatric brain cancer and help alleviate the financial burden as much as possible so the family can put their time and attention on what matters most: getting their baby better.&#34;</p>

</div><p>After getting the All Heart Gunner Foundation up and running, Brittany learned about Aflac and how its mission closely mirrored the heart of her own foundation - to provide financial support to individuals during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. She explored an opportunity to join the flock and very quickly discovered it was a natural fit. During a presentation at a sales team meeting, she learned about the My Special Aflac Duck® program and Aflac's long-standing commitment to those facing pediatric cancer as well as blood disorders like sickle cell disease.</p>

</div><p>&#34;During the nearly four years that Gunner bravely walked this road, we were unaware of the profound impact Aflac was making throughout the world of pediatric cancer and blood disorders,&#34; said Brittany. &#34;I was already familiar with the cancer policy - and that coverage for dependent children is included at no additional cost - but I soon learned that Aflac's level of commitment and care extends even further.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“在甘纳勇敢走过的近四年里，我们并不知道 Aflac 在儿童癌症和血液疾病领域所产生的深远影响，” 布列塔尼说。“我已经熟悉癌症保险——并且知道依赖儿童的保障是免费的——但我很快了解到 Aflac 的承诺和关怀程度更为深远。”</p>
</div><p>For more than 30 years, Aflac employees, independent agents and The Aflac Foundation, Inc., have contributed nearly $200 million to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to support research and treatment for pediatric cancer and blood disorders. A meaningful component of that mission is <em>My Special Aflac Duck,</em> a robotic companion designed to help provide comfort to pediatric patients with cancer or sickle cell disease. It also helps these children communicate with their parents, siblings, medical professionals and other caregivers.</p>

</div><p>&#34;Navigating a cancer or sickle cell diagnosis, treatment and throughout life can be challenging at any stage, so we introduced <em>My Special Aflac Duck</em> in 2018 to help these patients feel like they're not alone. Since then, we've delivered more than 41,000 ducks to help provide comfort to these patients and their families,&#34; said Buffy Swinehart, senior manager, Aflac Corporate Social Responsibility. &#34;We're so grateful for organizations like All Heart Gunner that help those facing pediatric cancer and blood disorders, and we're thrilled to be able to provide a cuddly companion for the children and families they support.&#34;</p>
