Emily Good spent the month of September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, sharing the stories of children affected by this devastating illness.
(Editor's note: As Snellville gears up for the annual Relay for Life, Snellville Patch is re-featuring a story on a Brookwood student who pours her life into helping children with childhood cancer. Since publishing the story on Good, the documentary film she collaborated on has been released. You can view it here. If you have a story you would like to share, please email Crystal.Huskey@patch.com.) Emily Good defies the image of a stereotypical “me generation” teen.

It's been quite a year in Snellville. We hope these stories will lift your spirits and remind you of all the good that has happened in town in 2012.

Emily Good defies the image of a stereotypical “me generation” teen. Not one to shy away from pain or suffering, she pours herself into the middle of it so she can adequately describe to others what it’s like. For Good, 17, childhood cancer is a monster she battles for those who are in its grip. At the age of 14, she lost her best friend, Daniela Joel, to the disease. Just a month ago, she lost another best friend, Taylor Filorimo, to childhood cancer as well. Rather than bemoan her loss, she took that hurt and turned it into action. She joined forces with an award-winning documentary filmmaker, Mike Gillette, the Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation and others to market and produce a film on childhood cancer. The film, "Truth 365," …
