WHITFIELD: All right. It's National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. And it's estimated that more than 10,000 kids under the age of 15 will be diagnosed this year alone. But one CNN Hero is helping kids kick cancer with power, peace, and purpose.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Come on.</s>RABBI ELIMELECH GOLDBERG, CNN HERO: When children get a diagnosis like cancer or any major disease, they lose any sense of feeling that they are controlling their lives. They are prodded and poked and they are often so afraid. Our daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. She was such an incredible little soul who taught me about the power that's inside of ourselves. Are you ready?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.</s>GOLDBERG: OK. Begin. After our daughter passed away I started a program that provides classes to children who are sick to teach them the martial arts and make them feel powerful. Every single type of martial arts uses the breath to take control. I'm a black belt in Choi Kwang Do. We use the martial arts as a platform for meditation, for relaxation, to allow children to gain these tools to really face down so much of the fear, the anger that accompanies pain. Breathe in. And you can see the light on their face. I feel like their souls are shining. Hey, you did it.</s>WHITFIELD: And an epic mission to mars is underway right now. A NASA spacecraft is set to arrive at the red planet tonight.
