The NJ PBS digital documentary series “21” examines a simple question: Does where you live in the state affect how you live? The “21” series profiles one person in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties and looks at the social determinants that affect that person’s life.
The latest film profiles Kasey Massa from Burlington County – who created “Camp No Worries,” a place where the word “cancer” does not exist for hundreds of kids battling the disease. At Camp No Worries, the familiar buzz of cicadas and sing-alongs fill the air with the sounds of summer, a place where the “c” word does not exist for a few days. Massa used what she learned throughout her diagnosis and recovery to give back to families in the community, providing a space where children facing the diagnosis of cancer and their siblings can just be kids.
