Kids Kicking Cancer was created in 1999 by Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg, a black belt rabbi and clinical assistant professor of pediatrics. Rabbi G lost his first child to leukemia at the age of two and brings a wealth of personal experience and sensitivity to dealing with children and families facing life-threatening illness.<\/p>\n<p>This program, which began with a handful of children at Children\u2019s Hospital of Michigan, now teaches over 7,000 children in 90 hospitals and program locations in 7 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Today incorporating our mantra of Power Peace Purpose, we address the needs of people of all ages and experiences teaching our techniques perfected by the pediatric cancer patients and their Kids Kicking Cancer Israel Therapeutic Martial Arts\u2019 Instructors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/12&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;535&#8243;
