Talia’s Legacy Children’s Cancer Foundation hosted a Glam Wars session at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital for girls battling cancer. Glam Wars teaches young patients how to apply makeup to help them feel empowered as they fight childhood cancer. The children’s hospital was selected for a Glam Wars visit in memory of Talia Joy Castellano, who received a bone marrow transplant here but lost her battle with a rare form of childhood cancer in 2013. Castellano shared makeup tips on YouTube, where her channel has grown to more than 1 million subscribers and counting. Visit taliaslegacy.org to learn more about the foundation.
