“A talent for torquing emotion and takeaway messages, Eva Grayzel not only delivers the goods…she is the goods.”
Chris Cuomo
CNN Anchor
I have seen Eva speak twice in front of large audiences. Both times, I was emotionally and intellectually engaged. She has a way with storytelling that makes her message relatable and compelling. She invited audience members on stage and instinctively translated their answers to her questions into a story. I was in awe at how focused she was at quickly determining the story that person was meant to tell.

How many happy survivors enrich our life with their stories about overcoming a terrible disease, but you went beyond this, and turned your life into a teaching tool, in order to allow everyone who listens to you, to approach life in a more meaningful way. For anyone whose life has thrown you a few “curve balls” or is looking for a good way to understand the “why” of life’s difficult moments, or when others’ mistakes cause us unnecessary suffering and want to move on and have the life we were intended to live, I highly recommend listening to Eva Grayzel.’

Beautiful Eva Grayzel appeared! We are so fortunate that you share your incredible story, and make yourself available to us. We have so much appreciated your example and support. I just want you to know that you have played a very positive, important role as our family moves through this. You are very special, and I thank you.’
Ann Trowbridge, Caregiver
‘I want you to know how truly and utterly thankful I am for all of your advice and support. I think to the first time we spoke and you said, do not cry in that mask. That simple phrase changed treatment for me. Because I’m 99% sure I would have cried the first time and almost every time since. But I thought of your words and you told me to be strong and brave and put my armor on. I don’t know if I could’ve found that armor if it wasn’t for you. I hope I can help someone someday the way you’ve helped me. I am eternally grateful for your kindness.’

“Recently we had a patient with a young child trying to deal with their parents new cancer diagnosis.

Thank you for producing such a wonderful resource.”

Clinical Nurse Specialist, Oncology Program

“Mr. C Plays Hide and Seek” is an invaluable resource for families with small children facing a cancer diagnosis. I never imagined it could help my eleven year old daughter the night before my routine annual mammogram when she became hysterical about the possible results of this routine test. “Mr. C Plays Hide and Seek” helped her feel more comfortable with the concept of cancer and opened the doors of communication between us.”
Erika Rauscher Markowitz, Executive Director
THANC (Thyroid, Head and Neck Cancer) Foundation
New York, NY
“Before telling my 9 year old daughter that her grandfather has metastatic cancer, I read ‘Mr. C Plays Hide and Seek’ with her. She found it interesting and informative, and summarized it saying, “So Mr. C is a big mean germ that no one completely understands and he makes people sick, and some people get better and some people don’t.” As we read along, she asked questions and I answered her in a comfortable way for us both. I found it well illustrated and easy to follow. When we were together with my father, we told her about his cancer. She instantly understood and wasn’t afraid. She was sad, but she understood. I can’t thank you enough. Since then, she has read it two more times.”
