They said it can't be done. She said, 'We'll see about that.'
The tagline from Audrey's Children immediately pulled me in, because this is a belief I've followed my entire life. When someone tells me it can't be done, I usually think, 'well, let me try.' Or if someone tells me, 'This is how we've always done it,' I think, 'Can we try a new way?' So I felt an immediate connection with Audrey when I read this tagline, even before seeing the movie. Read on to hear more about Audrey's Children and the amazing untold story of Dr. Evans, a renowned physician and visionary founder of Ronald McDonald House.

About the Film
AUDREY'S CHILDREN tells the untold true story of visionary British physician Dr. Audrey Evans, who burst onto the scene in 1969 as the first female Chief of Oncology at the world-renowned Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Battling sexism, medical conventions, and the subterfuge of her peers, Evans developed the first Neuroblastoma Staging System, co-founded the first Ronald McDonald House for families of patients, and, ultimately, impacted the lives of millions of children and families around the world. When Dr. Evans started her work, only 10% of children with cancer survived, now nearly 80% survive. Rated PG. https://www.audreyschildren.com/

The Jersey Momma's Thoughts About Audrey's Children
I love an inspiring film, and Audrey's Children is just that- inspiring. The cast is incredible: Natalie Dormer, Jimmi Simpson and Clancy Brown deliver stellar performances. I've loved Natalie Dormer since Game of Thrones. She is a powerful presence onscreen, and she's a joy to watch. It's all about a British physician, Dr. Audrey Evans, in 1969 Philadelphia. Audrey is newly recruited to a world-renowned children’s hospital and battles sexism, medical conventions, and the subterfuge of her peers to develop revolutionary treatments, purchase the first Ronald McDonald House for families of patients and, ultimately, impact the lives of millions of children around the world. It's based on a true story, and something I feel that everyone needs to know about. If you've read about why I started The Jersey Momma, then you know my nephew passed away from brain cancer shortly before his 4th birthday. I wish Audrey could have met him and helped to fight for him. I think that much of what she fought for was for children like my nephew. We still have so far to go when it comes to fighting children's cancer, but Audrey was our pioneer, and for that I am forever grateful.
