Childhood Cancer Facts

• Childhood cancer research is vastly and consistently underfunded.
• Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 19 in the U.S.
• One in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they are 20 years old.
• Every year, an estimated 250,000+ new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide.
• Two-thirds of childhood cancer patients will have long lasting chronic conditions from treatment.
• Childhood cancer is not just one disease. It is made up of 12 major types and over 100 subtypes.

Read those facts again..... they're horrifying.  I HATE this disease and what it does to children and their families.  My heart breaks that kids like Ellie Fetner have to go through painful and horrific treatments and while she is now cancer free, she'll be dealing with the effects of treatment for the rest of her life.  My heart breaks for Audra, Joezaiah's mum who has to live with the loss of her baby.  He died last year.  He was 8 years old.  This is why we have to do something.  We have to find a way!

Thank you for considering making a donation, PLEASE do it.  These children and their families need a cure!
