Four-Square Clobbers Cancer is a conversational blog that is dedicated to improving the outcomes of children, adolescents, and young adults who are being treated or have been treated for cancer. Utilizing over a dozen various authors from within the childhood cancer community, the goal is to inform, communicate and collaborate with those who care about children fighting cancer.
Four-Square is a very popular game played by children, adolescents and even young
adults. Following the rules and reacting to the constant changing path of a big orange ball, the object is to stay in the game as long as possible. It’s kind of like the game of life, where the object is to react favorably to the fast, changing things that come your way, stay healthy, live as long as possible and have fun.
Four-Square by definition is also used as an adjective that means firm and resolute, especially in support of someone or something. “We stand four-square in our conviction to improve the therapies and outcomes of children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer.”
Clobber is actually a term used in the game of Four-Square and, coincidently, it means
the same thing in the game of life. It’s what everyone wants to do to cancer!
The normal 4 square court does not have a lawyer, but we want to make sure we make the following statements below to satisfy most of them. Lawyers are not bad people and we invite them to play 4 square on our court and to follow the rules and stay within the lines. We provide an open area in which to play and welcome anyone who can educate, motivate, strengthen, and unite the childhood cancer community.
Who started this? The Nicholas Conor Institute (TNCI) did a lot to get Four Square Clobbers Cancer organized, up and running, it is meant to be a collaborative and inclusive blog and not a TNCI blog. We want to have bloggers from any organization that will help 
our entire community become more united, educated and stronger. It is our firm desire to see the blog grow and help our community do as much as possible in a united effort in order to help improve the treatments and outcomes of all children, adolescents and young adults with or surviving cancer. This is a forum without “donate” buttons.
